Blood Type- a Biological Functions of Carbohydrates
Aside from supplying of energy to many biological activities, carbohydrates play other vital functions as well. One of these is the uniqueness of each individual’s blood type. Human blood type—A, B, AB, or O—is determined by three or four monosaccharides attached to a membrane protein on the surface of red blood cells. Each blood type is associated with a different carbohydrate structure. Three monosaccharides occur in all blood types—N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-galactose, and l-fucose. Type A blood contains a fourth monosaccharide, N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, and type B blood contains an additional d-galactose unit. Type AB blood has both type A and type B carbohydrates.
