Polypeptides are made of many peptides! In cell, polypeptides are often modified in Golgi by attaching oligosaccharides. When polypeptides emerge from polyribosomes, they often are caught by chaperonins which help polypeptides fold into their tertiary structure. These folded ...

... glycoproteins from the lung, as well as from several human tissues (brain, heart, pancreas, ovary, etc.). Thus, a large fraction of bovine lung oligosaccharides contain unusual modifications including unexplained carboxylate groups and possibly core alpha-1,3 fucose residues. Antibody studies ...

But most proteins and lipids, once they have acquired their appropriate oligosaccharides in the Golgi apparatus, are recognized in other ways for targeting into the transport vesicles going to other destinations. (From the ...
