A glycoprotein is a protein that has sugar molecules attached to it, which typically happens at specific amino acid sites on the protein's structure. These sugar attachments play important roles in how proteins function and interact within cells and organisms.

Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharide (sugar) chains covalently attached to amino acid side-chains. The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a cotranslational or posttranslational modification. This process is known as glycosylation. Secreted extracellular proteins are often glycosylated.
