 Context examples: 

As with glycosylated endogenous proteins, glycosylation of recombinant proteins may fundamentally affect their biological activity, function, clearance from circulation, and antigenicity; glycosylation of recombinant proteins that are chemically idenitical to or similar to endogenous proteins may render protein structures and biological activities that are more similar to those of glycosylated endogenous proteins.
