Abstract excerpt
One of the major pathways to clear glycoproteins from circulation is via the liver-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor. Loss of asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1), the major subunit of asialoglycoprotein receptor in humans, was found to correlate with lower levels of plasma apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and a profound reduction in cardiovascular disease risk. However, the cell and molecular biology...
