Out of the following options, heparin can be classified as a/an:
Answer: A
Heparin is an anticoagulant.
Heparin, a sulphated polysaccharide found in mast cells, prevents blood clotting by strongly activating antithrombin, which inactivates thrombin and factor Xa. It is used to keep blood samples from clotting and to prevent and treat thrombosis.
Hyaluronic acid is a different polysaccharide found in joint fluid and connective tissue, which acts as a lubricant; heparin is neither. A mucoprotein is a protein-carbohydrate complex of mucus, which heparin is not.
