First sentence: To become a membrane glycoprotein, a protein, after its birth in the ribosomal machinery, will have to fulfill three different requirements: - to be integrated in the membrane bilayer, - to be segregated, at least partially, in the lumen of the endoplamic reticulum where the whole co- and post-translational processes will take place, - to be properly folded to reach the plasma membrane as a biologically active component.
