Fmoc-Ser((Ac)₃-Xyl-β-D)-OH

Proteoglycan synthesis is initiated by the transfer of D-xylose from UDP-xylose to a serine residue in core proteins. This natural primer acts as a template for the assembly of glycosaminoglycans including heparin sulfate, heparin, chondroitin sulfate, and dermatan sulfate side chains.
