name: heparin proteoglycan catabolic process
namespace: biological_process
def: "The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of heparin proteoglycans, which consist of a core protein linked to a heparin glycosaminoglycan. The heparin chain is composed of the repeating disaccharide unit beta-(1,4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-alpha-(1,4)-hexuronic acid, the former being either sulfated or deacetylated on its amino group as well as sulfated on one of its hydroxyl groups and the latter being a mixture of sulfated and nonsulfated D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acids. Heparin is similar to heparan sulfate but it contains more N-sulfate and O-sulfate groups." [PMID:35536982]
