heparan sulfate

Heparan sulfate is a natural product, a linear polysaccharide. Heparan sulfate occurs as a proteoglycan (HSPG) that is tightly attached to cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins.

Pro-xylane (Hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol) is a C-glycoside, a xylose derivative, that stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and induces a higher deposition of proteins in basement membranes and dermal-epidermal junctions (DEJs). Pro-xylane is used to maintain skin elasticity and improve skin aging.
