Methods used for detection of glycoproteins in biological samples include chromatography [1], radioactive isotope labeling [2,3], fluorescence assay [1,4], and the ELISA method [5].Nov 26, 2016
What is a glycoprotein and what does it do?
Glycoproteins are molecules that comprise protein and carbohydrate chains that are involved in many physiological functions including immunity. Many viruses have glycoproteins that help them enter bodily cells, but can also serve to be important therapeutic or preventative targets.Feb 24, 2021
Where are glycosylated proteins found?
Glycosylation of proteins and lipids occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus, with most of the terminal processing occurring in the cis-, medial- and trans-Golgi compartments.Mar 11, 2019
What color is glycoprotein?
The Glycoprotein Detection Reagent gives off a purple color with aldehyde with an absorption maximum at 550 nm. The absorbance at 550 nm is proportional to the percentage of carbohydrate component in glycoproteins.
