Acharan sulfate, a recently discovered glycosaminoglycan isolated from Achatina fulica, has a major disaccharide repeating unit of fi4)-2-acetyl,2-deoxy-a-D-glucopyra-nose(1fi4)-2-sulfo-a-L-idopyranosyluronic acid (1fi,mak-ing it structurally related to both heparin and heparan sulfate. It has been suggested that this glycosaminoglycan is polydisperse, with an average molecular mass of 29 kDa andknownminor disaccharide sequence variants containing unsulfated iduronic acid. | Eur. J.

It has been suggested that this glycosaminoglycan is polydisperse with an average molecular mass of 29 kDa and known minor disaccharide sequence variants containing unsulfated iduronic acid. Acharan sulfate was found to be located in the body of this species using alcian blue staining and it was suggested to be the main constituent of the mucus. In the present work we provide further information on the structure and compartmental distribution of acharan sulfate in the snail body. Different populations of acharan sulfate presenting charge and or molecular mass heterogeneities were isolated from the whole body as well as from mucus and from the organic shell matrix. A minor glycosaminoglycan fraction susceptible to degradation by nitrous acid was also purified from the snail body suggesting the presence of N-sulfated glycosaminoglycan molecules. In addition we demonstrate the in vivo metabolic labeling of acharan sulfate in the snail body after a meal .
