Glycoproteins are commonly found at the surface of cells. They can be found in gastrointestinal mucus secretions, connective tissues, and blood plasma. Glycoproteins are also used as lubricants and protective agents. They play a role in cell-cell interactions. There are three types of glycoproteins: N-linked glycoproteins, O-linked glycoproteins, and nonenzymatic glycosylated glycoproteins.
