#conjugated_protein__compound_protein  a protein complex combining amino acids with other substances
  supertype:  #protein  any of a large group of nitrogenous organic compounds that are essential constituents of living cells; consist of long chains of polypeptides
  subtype:  #glycoprotein  a conjugated protein having a carbohydrate component
     subtype:  #mucin  a nitrogenous substance found in mucous secretions; a lubricant that protects body surfaces
     subtype:  #lectin  any of several plant glycoproteins that act like specific antibodies but are not antibodies in that they are not evoked by an antigenic stimulus
     subtype:  #mucoid  any of several glycoproteins similar to mucin
     subtype:  #transferrin__betaglobulin__siderophilin  glycoprotein that carries iron in the blood
  subtype:  #hemoprotein__haemoprotein  a conjugated protein linked to an iron-porphyrin compound
     subtype:  #hemoglobin__haemoglobin__Hb  a hemoprotein composed of globin and heme that gives red blood cells their characteristic color; function primarily to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues; "fish have simpler hemoglobin than mammals"
        subtype:  #oxyhemoglobin__oxyhaemoglobin  the bright red hemoglobin that is a combination of hemoglobin and oxygen from the lungs; "oxyhemoglobin transports oxygen to the cells of the body"
     subtype:  #myoglobin  a hemoprotein that receives oxygen from hemoglobin and stores it in the tissues until needed
     subtype:  #cytochrome  a class of hemoprotein whose principle biological function is as carriers of electrons
        subtype:  #cytochrome_c  the most abundant and stable cytochrome; involved in energy transfer
  subtype:  #lipoprotein  a conjugated protein having a lipid component; the principal means for transporting lipids in the blood
     subtype:  #high-density_lipoprotein__HDL__alpha-lipoportein  a lipoprotein that transports cholesterol in the blood; composed of a high proportion of protein and relatively little cholesterol; high levels are thought to be associated with decreased risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis
     subtype:  #low-density_lipoprotein__lowdensitylipoprotein__LDL__ldl__beta-lipoprotein  a lipoprotein that transports cholesterol in the blood; composed of moderate amount of protein and a large amount of cholesterol; high levels are thought to be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis
     subtype:  #very_low_density_lipoprotein__VLDL  large lipoproteins rich in triglycerides; VLDLs circulate through the blood giving up their triglycerides to fat and muscle tissue until the VLDL remnants are modified and converted into LDL
