Abstract excerpt
The mammalian asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is located on the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes where it binds and endocytoses galactose-terminated glycoproteins (asialoglycoproteins). ASGPR is composed of two highly homologous subunits, termed hepatic lectin 1 and 2. Despite numerous studies the contribution of both subunits to biosynthesis and functional activity of ASGPR in vivo has remained...
