Term Name:	keratan sulfate biosynthetic process
Synonyms:	keratan sulfate anabolism, keratan sulfate biosynthesis, keratan sulfate formation, keratan sulfate synthesis, keratan sulphate biosynthesis, keratan sulphate biosynthetic process
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of keratan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan with repeat units consisting of beta-1,4-linked D-galactopyranosyl-beta-(1,4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate and with variable amounts of fucose, sialic acid and mannose units; keratan sulfate chains are covalently linked by a glycosidic attachment through the trisaccharide galactosyl-galactosyl-xylose to peptidyl-threonine or serine residues.
