Molecular Mass
Recombinant Mouse ASGR1(Biotinylated) consists of 241 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 28 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant protein migRates as an approximately 40-45 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Background
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. The receptor then returns to the cell membrane surface.
