Function
Transmembrane protein predominantly expressed on hepatocytes that plays a key role in endocytosis of plasma glycoproteins that lack terminal sialic acid residues. Specifically recognizes terminal galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine residues, facilitating the clearance of desialylated glycoproteins from circulation. Plays thereby a role in a variety of physiological processes, such as removal of desialylated platelets, elimination of activated lymphocytes and maintenance of serum glycoprotein homeostasis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Single-pass type II membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed exclusively in hepatic parenchymal cells
