	Glycoprotein definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
		Glycoprotein: A molecule that consists of a carbohydrate plus a protein.
		For instance, in the immune system almost all of the key molecules involved in the immune response are glycoproteins.
		A glycopeptide is similar in structure to a glycoprotein but has a shorter chain of amino acids.

	Glycoprotein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glycoproteins are often used in proteins that are at least in part located in extracellular space (that is, outside the cell).
		One example of glycoproteins found in the body are mucins, which are secreted in the mucus of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
		Glycoproteins are important for immune cell recognition, especially in mammals.

	Glycoprotein Summary
		Glycoproteins are most commonly found embedded in the plasma membranes of cells, with the carbohydrate exposed to the cell interior.
		The carbohydrate portion of a glycoprotein is commonly a branched chain of fifteen or fewer monosaccharides.
		Other glycoproteins are thought to act during development to aid cells as they migrate to their proper location in the body.

	Post-Translational Modifications
		Membrane associated carbohydrate is exclusively in the form of oliogsaccharides covalently attached to proteins forming glycoproteins, and to a lesser extent covalently attached to lipid forming the glycolipids.
		Glycoproteins on cell surfaces are important for communication between cells, for maintaining cell structure and for self-recognition by the immune system.
		Some glycoproteins are tethered to the membrane by a lipid linkage: the protein is attached to the carbohydrate through phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) linkage, and the carbohydrate is in turn attached to the membrane via linkage to phosphatidylinositol (PI), which anchors the structure within the membrane.

	Patent 6,359,118
		Glycoprotein activity--an activity selected from the group consisting of binding, catalysis, signalling, transport, or other activities which induce a functional response within the environment in which the glycoprotein is used, such as induction of immune response and immunogenicity, or combinations thereof.
		Glycoprotein crystals may also be crosslinked in such a way that they dissolve or release their protein activity upon exposure to a trigger in their environment encountered under conditions of use.
		Alternatively, carbohydrate crosslinked glycoprotein crystals are characterized by stability and integrity in the presence of a solvent contained in the sample to be separated, as compared with the soluble uncrosslinked form of the glycoprotein that is crystallized to form the glycoprotein crystals that are crosslinked.

		In nerve tissue glycoproteins are abundant in gray matter and appear to be associated with synaptosomes, axons, and microsomes.
		Reproduction: Glycoproteins found on the surface of spermatozoa appear to increase a sperm cell's attraction for the egg by altering the electrophoretic mobility of the plasma membrane.
		Freezing-point depression: Glycoproteins were found in the sera of antarctic fishes to decrease the freezing point due to their apparent interaction with water(Gottschalk).

	Carbohydrate deficient Glycoprotein Syndrome Type Ia
		Carbohydrate-deficient Glycoprotein Syndrome Type Ia (CDG1A) is an extremely rare inherited metabolic disorder belonging to a group of diseases known as Carbohydrate-deficient Glycoprotein Syndromes (CDGS). These disorders are characterized by the presence of abnormal oligosaccharides, or "sugar chains," on many glycoproteins** (e.g., transferrin).
		Carbohydrate-deficient Glycoprotein Syndrome Type II (CDG2) is an extremely rare inherited metabolic disorder belonging to the group of diseases known as Carbohydrate-deficient Glycoprotein Syndromes (CDGS).
		Although many glycoproteins may exhibit carbohydrate abnormalities similar to those seen in transferrin (e.g., alpha-1-antitrypsin and thyroxine-binding globulin) in cases of CDG1A, none has been as thoroughly researched and studied as transferrin; therefore, in most cases, diagnostic methods for CDGS Type Ia are based upon transferrin analyses (e.g., isoelectric focusing).

	ISMRD - What Is Known?
		The carbohydrate portion of glycoproteins is usually made of combinations of sugar molecules such as glucose, galactose, mannose and fucose, which are collectively known as oligosaccharides.
		Normal functioning of the cell is characterized by the continual degradation of glycoproteins by enzymes within the lysosomes, which are membrane-bound compartments in the cell and essentially the cell’s recycling center.
		Glycoprotein and Related Storage Diseases are autosomal recessive conditions, meaning that a defective trait or mutation passed on from both parents is required for the disease to be expressed.

	InterPro: IPR000936 Alphavirus E2 glycoprotein
		Together the E1, E2, and sometimes E3 glycoprotein "spikes" form an E1/E2 dimer or an E1/E2/E3 trimer, where E2 extends from the centre to the vertices, E1 fills the space between the vertices, and E3, if present, is at the distal end of the spike [ 2, 3 ].
		Upon exposure of the virus to the acidity of the endosome, E1 dissociates from E2 to form an E1 homotrimer, which is necessary for the fusion step to drive the cellular and viral membranes together [ 4 ].
		The E2 glycoprotein functions to interact with the nucleocapsid through its cytoplasmic domain, while its ectodomain is responsible for binding a cellular receptor.
