Term Name:	heparan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process
Synonyms:	heparan sulfate proteoglycan breakdown, heparan sulfate proteoglycan catabolism, heparan sulfate proteoglycan degradation, heparan sulphate proteoglycan catabolic process, heparan sulphate proteoglycan catabolism, heparin proteoglycan catabolic process
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of proteoglycan containing heparan sulfate, any member of a group of glycosaminoglycans that have repeat units consisting of alternating alpha-(1->4) linked hexuronic acid and glucosamine residues, the former being a mixture of sulfated and nonsulfated D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acids, and the latter being either sulfated or acetylated on its amino group as well as sulfated on one of its hydroxyl groups.
