Some structural features of 13 heparan sulfates isolated from different mammalian tissues [pancreas, thymus, brain, lung, liver, kidney, platelets] and species [beef, rabbit, guinea pig, dog, human] are reported. Two N-acetylated disaccharides, one of them O-sulfated and 2 N-sulfated disaccharides, one of them 6-sulfated are formed from these compounds by the combined action of heparitinases I and II from Flavobacterium heparinum. The relative proportions of the 4 disaccharide units vary quite significantly among the 13 heparan sulfates indicating that the structure of these polymers are tissue and species specific. Based on the frequency of appearance of each one of the disaccharides it was calculated that 1036 types of heparan sulfates might theoretically be found. The possible role of these polyanions in cell-cell recognition is discussed in view of the present findings.
