  "term": "Glycoprotein",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A protein that has one or more oligosaccharide chains covalently attached to its polypeptide backbone. These carbohydrate modifications, known as glycosylations, occur post-translationally and can influence protein folding, stability, and cellular recognition. Glycoproteins are abundant on cell surfaces and in secreted fluids, playing roles in immunity and cell signaling.",
