Separation of dermatan sulfate from heparan sulfate in mucopolysaccharidosis urine by chromatography on Sephadex G-75. 1976

J K Herd, and T Forrest, and J Tschida

Oligosaccharides of testicular hyaluronidase-degraded dermatan sulfate were separated from undegraded dermatan sulfate by chromatography on Sephadex G-75, but not by chromatography on Sephadex G-25. All but the smallest of these oligosaccharides were recovered in excellent yield following dialysis and precipitation with cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC). G-75 chromatography of dialyzed, concentrated Hunter urine mucopolysaccharides precipitated with CPC resolved most of the large dermatan sulfate into a void volume related peak which was free of heparan sulfate. Decreasing amounts of dermatan sulfate oligosaccharides were eluted with sephadex-retarded polysaccharides, including small amounts which appeared with otherwise pure heparan sulfate.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D009083	Mucopolysaccharidoses	Group of lysosomal storage diseases each caused by an inherited deficiency of an enzyme involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). The diseases are progressive and often display a wide spectrum of clinical severity within one enzyme deficiency.	Mucopolysaccharidosis

D003871	Dermatan Sulfate	A naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found mostly in the skin and in connective tissue. It differs from CHONDROITIN SULFATE A (see CHONDROITIN SULFATES) by containing IDURONIC ACID in place of glucuronic acid, its epimer, at carbon atom 5.

D006025	Glycosaminoglycans	Heteropolysaccharides which contain an N-acetylated hexosamine in a characteristic repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either N-acetylglucosamine (see ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE) or N-acetylgalactosamine (see ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE).
