|
carbohydrate metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving carbohydrates, any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y. Includes the formation of carbohydrate derivatives by the addition of a carbohydrate residue to another molecule. |
GO:0016758
|
transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
|
Catalysis of the transfer of a hexosyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). |
GO:0030246
|
carbohydrate binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any carbohydrate, which includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group (alditols), by oxidation of one or more hydroxy groups to afford the corresponding aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, or by replacement of one or more hydroxy group(s) by a hydrogen atom. Cyclitols are generally not regarded as carbohydrates. |
GO:0030259
|
lipid glycosylation
|
Covalent attachment of a glycosyl residue to a lipid molecule. |
GO:0009247
|
glycolipid biosynthetic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glycolipid, a class of 1,2-di-O-acylglycerols joined at oxygen 3 by a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate part (usually a mono-, di- or tri-saccharide). |
