Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal mast cells in mice deficient in a heparin-synthesizing enzyme

TL;DR: The results indicate that one site of physiological action for heparin could be inside connective-tissue-type mast cells, where its absence results in severe defects in the secretory granules.
Book ChapterDOI

Mast cell proteases.

TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of the biology of the MC proteases, which will enable us to unravel the role of theMC proteases both in normal physiology as well as in pathological settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective heparan sulfate biosynthesis and neonatal lethality in mice lacking N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase-1

TL;DR: It is reported that targeted gene disruption of NDST-1 in the mouse results in a structural alteration of heparan sulfate in most basement membranes as revealed by immunohistochemical staining of fetal tissue sections using antibodies raised against heparin sulfate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective N-sulfation of heparan sulfate proteoglycans limits PDGF-BB binding and pericyte recruitment in vascular development

TL;DR: It is concluded that pericyte recruitment requires HS with sufficiently extended and appropriately spaced N-sulfated domains to retain PDGF-BB and activate PDGF receptor beta (PDGFRbeta) signaling, whereas the detailed sequence of monosaccharide and sulfate residues does not appear to be important for this interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heparan sulfate and development: differential roles of the N-acetylglucosamine N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase isozymes.

TL;DR: The role of the four vertebrate NDSTs in HS biosynthesis as well as their regulated expression are reviewed, with the main emphasis is the phenotypes of mice lacking one or more of theNDSTs.
