A highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan is heparin

Description
Heparin appears to be a natural anticoagulant and is found in many body tissues.

It binds strongly to a blood protein, antiprothrombin III, and the complex inhibits enzymes of the blood clotting process.

Therefore, heparin is used medicinally to inhibit clotting in blood vessels.
