A sugar-bearing <protein> that inhibits ice growth in relevant organisms. Comparative analysis traced the Antarctic notothenioid form to recruitment of ancestral <trypsinogen> gene segments and amplification of a short coding element.<Evolution of antifreeze glycoprotein gene from a trypsinogen gene in Antarctic notothenioid fish by Liangbiao Chen and others>[PNAS 94, pp. 3811–3816]{ref}
