Definition of Glycoprotein Glycoprotein: A molecule that
consists of a carbohydrate plus a protein. Glycoproteins play
essential roles in the body. For instance, in the immune system
almost all of the key molecules involved in the immune response
are glycoproteins. A glycopeptide is similar in structure to a
glycoprotein but has a shorter chain of amino acids.Source:
