Membrane glycoproteins are membrane proteins which help in cell-cell recognition and cell-matrix recognition, including fibronectin, laminin and osteonectin. Glycoproteins are formed of an oligosaccharide chain that is attached covalently to a protein.
See also Glycocalyx, a glycoprotein which surrounds the membranes of bacterial, epithelial and other cells
