Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, where they interact with a plethora of ligands.These are glycoproteins, with the common characteristic of containing one or more covalently attached heparan sulfate chains, a type of glycosaminoglycan. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) is a receptor of diverse macromolecular cargo, endocytosis is involved in infectious disease, lipid metabolism cancer and HSPG represents an interesting target for macromolecular drug delivery.
