Gene:
asialoglycoprotein receptor 1
Gene ID:
195262
Symbol:
ASGR1
Species:
1000
Description:
This cell surface receptor binds to galactose-terminated glycoproteins. It transports these glycoproteins via a series of membrane vesicles and tubules to an acidic-sorting organelle where the receptor and ligand dissociates. Then the receptor is recycled back to the cell surface.
