Term Name:	dermatan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process
Synonyms:	chondroitin sulfate B catabolic process, chondroitin sulfate B catabolism, dermatan sulfate breakdown, dermatan sulfate catabolism, dermatan sulfate degradation, dermatan sulphate catabolic process, dermatan sulphate catabolism
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of dermatan sulfate proteoglycans, which consist of a core protein linked to a dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycan. The dermatan sulfate chain is composed of the repeating disaccharide unit beta-(1,4)-D-hexuronic acid-beta-(1,3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. The former can be a mixture of sulfated and nonsulfated D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acids and the latter can be O-sulfated.
