#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
