Term Name: heparan sulfate proteoglycan metabolic process
Synonyms: heparan sulfate proteoglycan metabolism, heparan sulphate proteoglycan metabolic process, heparan sulphate proteoglycan metabolism, heparin proteoglycan metabolic process
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways involving any proteoglycan containing heparan sulfate, any member of a group of glycosaminoglycans that have repeat units consisting of alternating alpha-(1->4)-linked hexuronic acid and glucosamine residues, the former being a mixture of sulfated and nonsulfated D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acids, and the latter being either sulfated or acetylated on its amino group as well as sulfated on one of its hydroxyl groups.
