Glycoproteins are proteins to which one or more carbohydrate chains are attached. Glycoproteins are most commonly found embedded in the plasma membranes of cells, with the carbohydrate exposed to the cell interior. Glycoproteins are thought to function...

Glycoproteins are conjugated PROTEINS and CARBOHYDRATE. In the brain, glycoproteins act as important ADHESION MOLECULES, providing GROWTH CONE attachments to the local...

Glycoproteins are proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (glycans) covalently attached to their polypeptide. The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a cotranslational or posttranslational modification. In proteins that have segments...

ABSTRACT Antifreeze glycoproteins from the Greenland cod Boreogadus saida were dimethylated at the N-terminus (m*AFGP) and their dynamics and conformational properties were studied in the presence of ice using ^sup 13^C-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. ^sup 13^C-NMR experiments of m*AFGP in D^sub 2^O, in H^sub...

Introduction P-glycoprotein(P-gp) belongs to face=+Italic; ABCB (MDR/TAP)face=-Italic; superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABCB1 is also known as face=+Italic; multiple drug resistance-1face=-Italic; (MDR1) or P-gp. It is the first human ABC transporter cloned and characterized through its ability to confer a MDR phenotype...
