Function
Mediates the endocytosis of plasma glycoproteins to which the terminal sialic acid residue on their complex carbohydrate moieties has been removed. The receptor recognizes terminal galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine units. After ligand binding to the receptor, the resulting complex is internalized and transported to a sorting organelle, where receptor and ligand are disassociated.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Single-pass type II membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed exclusively in hepatic parenchymal cells
