Surface glycoproteins are complex carbohydrate-protein molecules that are embedded in the outer membrane of cells, including those found on the surfaces of parasites. These glycoproteins play crucial roles in various cellular processes, such as cell-cell recognition, adhesion, and signaling, which are particularly important in the context of parasitic infections of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
