Glycoproteins and
Proteoglycans
Miss T. Tinago
,Glucoconjugate classes
,Glycoconjugates are molecules of carbohydrate bonded
to other compounds, such as protein and lipid
The major forms of membrane-associated glycans foun
in the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells are
proteoglycans, glycoproteins and glycolipids
, Definitions
Glycoprotein - a compound containing carbohydrate (o
glycan) covalently linked to protein.
NB*The carbohydrate may be in the form of a
monosaccharide, disaccharide(s), oligosaccharide(s),
polysaccharide(s), or their derivatives (e.g. sulfo- or
phospho-substituted)
