A cell lacking the ability to make and secrete glycoproteins would most likely be deficient in its extracellular matrix and Golgi apparatus.
- Molecules known as glycoproteins (glycol = sugar, protein = protein) include both a sugar group and a protein group. These chemicals play crucial structural and signaling roles in living things.
- Proteins that are secreted from the cell are packaged in the Golgi apparatus.
- Glycoproteins with their sugar groups attached are aimed for secretion in the Golgi.
- Once secreted, glycoproteins play a significant role in creating the extracellular matrix.
- However, nuclear DNA contributes to both secreted and intracellular proteins, thus cells that just have problems producing and secreting glycoproteins would not be missing in this.
