Term Name: keratan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process
Synonyms: keratan sulfate breakdown, keratan sulfate catabolism, keratan sulfate degradation, keratan sulphate catabolic process, keratan sulphate catabolism
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of keratan sulfate proteoglycans, which consist of a core protein linked to a keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycan. The keratan sulfate chain is composed of the repeating disaccharide unit beta-(1,4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-beta-(1,3)-galactose, both of which can be sulfated.
