Abstract excerpt
The H2a alternatively spliced variant of the human asialoglycoprotein receptor H2 subunit differs from the H2b variant by an extra pentapeptide, EGHRG, present in the ectodomain next to the membrane-span. This difference causes retention and degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of H2a wh...
