Creative Biolabs has developed versatile Glyco-engineered Systems for the development of therapeutic glycoproteins, optimized for the production of defucosylated antibodies and fully humanized glycoproteins.

Structural glycoproteins are proteins that have carbohydrate (sugar) molecules attached to them, playing crucial roles in the structural integrity and functionality of various biological tissues and cells. These glycoproteins are essential in many physiological processes and can be found in a variety of organisms.

Key Features of Structural Glycoproteins:

1. Composition:

   • Comprised of a protein backbone with one or more oligosaccharide chains attached through glycosidic bonds.
   • The sugar components can include various monosaccharides, which influence the glycoprotein's properties and functions.

2. Functions:

   • Structural Support: Provide mechanical stability and support to cells and tissues, often forming part of extracellular matrices.
   • Cell Adhesion: Facilitate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, which are vital for tissue formation and maintenance.
   • Signaling: Play a role in signaling pathways by interacting with receptors or other molecules.
