Carbohydrate Chains Definition

Glycans represent carbohydrate chains which consist of monosaccharide units joined together through glycosidic bonds to form polymeric structures. Attachment to proteins and lipids allows these chains to regulate their functions and participate in multiple biological processes. The assembly of cell components proceeds through enzymatic reactions which include glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, nucleotide sugars, and substrate molecules. Carbohydrate chains exhibit diverse structural variations which enable them to perform essential functions including protein structure control and transport process facilitation as well as molecular stability maintenance while promoting cellular and extracellular matrix interactions. Functional carbohydrate structures earn the common name "glyco-codes" due to their ability to store information that influences how cells behave and communicate.
