Glycoproteins are the proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (glycans) attached to amino acid side chains. Mucins, ceruloplasmin, collagens, calnexin, calreticulin, and selectin are some examples of glycoproteins. They provide structural support such as collagens, determine blood group type, and are also present on virus surfaces that enable binding to bodily receptors.
