Molecular Mass
Recombinant Human ASGR1 consists of 246 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 28.8 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhASGR1 is approximately 37 kDa due to glycosylation.
Background
Plays an important role in growth control. Its major role in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues.
