O-linked glycoprotein

A unique family of O-linked glycoproteins permits fish to live in the icy seawater of the Arctic and Antarctic regions where water temperature may reach as low as — 1.9°C. Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are found in the blood of nearly all Antarctic fish and at least five Arctic fish. These glycoproteins have the peptide structure...

Mucins are a class of O-linked glycoproteins that are distributed on the surfaces of epithelial cells of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts. The Golgi apparatus plays a major role in glycosyla-tion reactions involved in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins. 

All glycosaminoglycan chains except hyaluronic acid start as O-linked glycoproteins. 

The mucins are the predominant O-linked glycoproteins and may be divided into eight different core structures, depending on the relative occurrence of various glycosyl-transferases at the location of their biosynthesis (Table i),. 182-183,264,265]... 

Another distinct family of O-linked glycoproteins are the mucins, which are present in saliva and other... 

There are three types of glycoproteins based on their structure and the mechanism of synthesis N-linked glycoproteins, O-linked glycoproteins, and nonenzymatic glycosylated glycoproteins.
