Background

Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), also known as the hepatic galactose/N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) receptor or Ashwell receptor, is a C-type lectin expressed exclusively in hepatic parenchymal cells. ASGPR consists of two subunits, a major subunit (ASGR1, HL-1) and a minor subunit (ASGR2, HL-2), and specifically recognizes terminal β-linked galactose or GlcNAc on circulating glycoproteins or cells. ASGPR plays a critical role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis by mediating the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins that contain terminal galactose or GlcNAc residues.
