Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides bind and form aggregates with sulfated glycosaminoglycans

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) play crucial roles in inflammation and wound healing, serving as regulators of growth factors and pro-inflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated the influence of heparin/HS on thrombin proteolysis and its interaction with...
