Why are most proteins destined for secretion from the cell glycoproteins?

Proteins destined for secretion are modified in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus to become glycoproteins. These carbohydrate modifications help with protein folding, stability, and recognition by other cells. Glycoproteins also play a role in cell-cell communication and immune response.


This organelle provides packaging for glycoproteins for secretion?

The Golgi body/apparatus provides secretary vesicles for glycoproteins.


Are there organic fibers in cartilage matrix?

Yes, the primary organic fibers found in cartilage matrix are collagen fibers. These fibers provide strength and structure to the cartilage tissue. Additionally, there are proteoglycans and glycoproteins present in the matrix that help maintain its integrity and function.


What are the glycoproteins made up of?

Glycoproteins are composed of a protein core with attached carbohydrate chains. The carbohydrate chains can be made up of various monosaccharides like glucose, galactose, or mannose, which are covalently linked to specific amino acid residues within the protein structure. Glycoproteins have diverse roles in cell-cell recognition, signaling, and immune response.


What part of the body do the glycolipids and glycoproteins identify self and nonself?

Glycoproteins are proteins covalently attached to carbohydrates Glycolipids are lipids attached to carbohydrates. The antigen that determines blood types belongs to glycoproteins and glycolipids.

What is the difference between a glycoprotein and a proteoglycan?

Actually, proteoglycans are conjugates of proteins and carbohydrates in which there is more carb and less protein. In fact, proteoglycans have GAGs (heteropolysaccharides) as carbohydrates. Glycoproteins, on the other hand, have more protein and less carb. Here, carbohydrates are in the form of Oligosaccharides.


Are proteoglycans organic or inorganic?

Proteoglycans are organic molecules. They are composed of proteins and long chains of complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans.


What is the function of the glycoproteins on the outside of the virus?

Glycoproteins are proteins that contain sugars and polipetides.

What composes the basement membrane and includes a gel-like matrix?

The basement membrane is composed of a combination of proteins like collagen, laminin, and fibronectin, as well as glycoproteins and proteoglycans. It forms a gel-like matrix that provides structural support and acts as a barrier between epithelial and connective tissues.


Glycoproteins are membrane proteins?

Yes they are found as integral membrane proteins in addition to lipidis, glycerol and proteins alone. Glycoproteins are proteins that are post translationally coneected to sugar chains. Mostly the secreted proteins are also glycoslated.
