Definition: The major sialoglycoprotein of the human erythrocyte membrane. It consists of at least two sialoglycopeptides and is composed of 60% carbohydrate including sialic acid and 40% protein. It is involved in a number of different biological activities including the binding of MN blood groups, influenza viruses, kidney bean phytohemagglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin.  an erythrocyte protein    Other names Red Blood Cell Membrane Sialoglycoprotein; MN Sialoglycoprotein; Erythrocyte Sialoglycoprotein; beta Sialoglycoprotein; Sialoglycoprotein, Ss; Sialoglycoprotein, MN; Sialoglycoprotein, Erythrocyte; beta-Sialoglycoprotein; Ss Sialoglycoprotein; Ss Erythrocyte Membrane Sialoglycoproteins; Glycophorin HA; Glycophorin E; Glycophorin C; Glycophorin B; Glycophorin A(M); Glycophorin A; Glycoconnectin
