ASGR1

A gene on chromosome 17p13.2 that encodes a subunit of the asialoglycoprotein receptor, which plays a key role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis by mediating the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of
glycoproteins with exposed terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues. Once the ligand binds to the receptor, the ligand-receptor complex is internalised and transported to a sorting organelle, where receptor and ligand part ways. The receptor then returns to the cell membrane to continue the cycle.

Furthermore, the flexible polysaccharide blocks containing 2-5% galactan have the ability to recognize hepatocytes due to the presence of asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) on which galactose acts as a specific adhesive ligand on the hepatocytes [15-19] (Figure 2).
