Glycoproteins

O-linked Glycoproteins

Blood ABO Antigens

Structure of the ABO blood group carbohydrates,

R represents the linkage to protein in the secreted forms, sphingolipid in the cell-surface

bound formopen square = GlcNAc, open diamond = galactose, filled

square = fucose, filled diamond = GalNAc, filled diamond = sialic
