Role Cell State Glycoproteins Membrane Adhesion Communication/Signalling Receptors

Glycoproteins function in cell adhesion and communication, serving as receptors for chemical signals to relay information into the cell.

The role of glycoproteins in the membrane includes cell adhesion and cell communication or signaling, acting as receptors for chemical signals.

Front State the role of glycoproteins in the membrane.
Back Role of glycoproteins:
  • Cell adhesion
  • Cell communication/signalling (as receptors for chemical signals)
