Chondroitin Sulfates MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Chondroitin Sulfates
Tree Number(s)
D09.698.373.200.300
Unique ID
D002809
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002809
Scope Note
Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.
