Glycocalyx are the carbohydrate coating on the surface of prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. Glycocalyx are the recognition moieties which help cells to recognise each other. These can either be glycolipids or glycoproteins projecting from the cell membrane. It cushions the plasma membrane and protects it from injury. glycococalyx also help cells in binding with each other and they also play a great role in immunity as the immune system of our body recognises these glycoproteins to produce antibodies.
