glycoprotein /gly·co·pro·tein/ (-pro´tēn) a conjugated protein covalently linked to one or more carbohydrate groups; technically those with less than 4 per cent carbohydrate but often expanded to include the mucoproteins and proteoglycans.
glycoprotein [glī′kōprō′tēn] Etymology: Gk, glykys, sweet, proteios, first rank any of the large group of conjugated proteins in which the nonprotein substance is a carbohydrate. These include the mucins, the mucoids, and the chondroproteins. glycoprotein, n a large group of conjugated proteins in which the nonprotein substance is a carbohydrate. These include the mucins, the mucoids, and the chondroproteins. glycopyrrolate,

| The deciphering showed that CEBiP is a glycoprotein consisting of 328 amino acid residues and glycan chains. The current US-licensed ORV consists of a rabies virus glycoprotein gene inserted into the thymidine kinase gene of an attenuated strain of the Copenhagen vaccinia virus (V-RG) (2). The platelets are hooked together by a protein called fibrinogen, which latches onto spots on the cells called glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptors. |
