glycoprotein
Carbohydrate-modified protein chain
A glycoprotein is a protein with carbohydrate molecules attached to it.
These sugar-protein compounds appear throughout living organisms, forming crucial components of cell membranes, mucus, and blood plasma.
Many hormones and antibodies are glycoproteins: The virus binds to glycoproteins on the cell surface.
