Glycophorin is a heavily glycosylated protein found on the red cell membrane. One or more of the statements in the following list may apply to this protein:

(i) It is a Type I membrane protein (ii) It is a Type II membrane protein (iii) It is a Type III membrane protein (iv) The carbohydrate composition of the protein gives the red cell a hydrophilic surface which allows them to circulate without 'sticking' to other cells or vessel walls.
