The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation 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. Tthe former can be a mixture of sulfated and nonsulfated D-glucuronic and L-iduronic acids, and the latter can be O-sulfated. Dermatan sulfate chains are covalently linked to serine/threonine residues (O-linked) of the core protein via a tetrasaccharide linker sequence (xylose-galactose-galactose-glucuronate).
