Presentation Overview

The slide covers comprehensive content on <p>&nbsp;<strong>Glycoproteins are proteins that contain </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide">oligosaccharide</a></strong><strong> chains (</strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycans">glycans</a></strong><strong>) covalently attached to their </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide">polypeptide</a></strong><strong> side-chains.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;<strong>The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cotranslational_modification&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">cotranslational</a></strong><strong> or </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posttranslational_modification">posttranslational modification</a></strong><strong> in a process is known as </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosylation">glycosylation</a></strong><strong>.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;<strong>In proteins that have segments extending extracellularly, the extracellular segments are often glycosylated. </strong></p> <p>&nbsp;<strong>Glycoproteins are often important </strong><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_membrane_proteins">integral membrane proteins</a></strong><strong>, where they play a role in cell-cell interactions.</strong></p> .
