MeSH definition : Oligosaccharides containing various types of glycosidic linkages that yield branching
or antennae. The number of antennae (such as bi-, tri-, tetra-, or penta-antennary)
in the oligosaccharides on the PROTEOGLYCANS; GLYCOPROTEINS; or LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES
contribute to their biological activities, such as receptor binding and metabolism.;
