Study of the sugar chains of various glycoproteins is now becoming one of the popular fields of biochemistry. This is because the finding of the functional roles of sugar moieties called the interest of researchers in many biological fields. Together with the physicochemical effects of the sugar chains of glycoproteins, roles of the sugar chains in signaling various cellular recognition phenomena have been reported. Development of recombinant DNA technique is also accelerating the research of sugar chains of glycoproteins, because many products did not express the expected biological activity.<BR>This review gives a summary account of our current knowledge of the sugar chain structures. Then, functional aspect of the sugar moieties of glycoproteins will be introduced with use of some representative cases.
