Glycosylated Lipids

Glycosylation is a reaction in which a carbohydrate connects to the hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosylated receptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate. Glycosylated lipids are found primarily on the extracellular surfaces of organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. Glycation occurs when a lipid reacts with a hydroxyl or amine functional group of a carbohydrate molecule, forming an O- or N-glycosidic bond. Glycosylated lipids are involved in a variety of biological processes, including cell adhesion and the initiation of cellular signaling.
