Background

Asialoglycoprotein receptor 2 (ASGR2) is a subunit of the Asialoglycoprotein receptor. The asialoglycoprotein receptor is a hetero-oligomeric protein composed of major and minor subunits, which are encoded by different genes. The protein encoded by this gene is the less abundant minor subunit. The asialoglycoprotein receptor may facilitate hepatic infection by multiple viruses including hepatitis B, and is also a target for liver-specific drug delivery. Expressed on hepatocytes, the Asialoglycoprotein receptor mediates endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins to mediate serum glycoprotein homeostasis. The ASGR receptor binds plasma glycoproteins which have had the terminal sialic acid residue removed. An alternatively spliced variant, H2, which can be shed, has been proposed as a marker for liver fibrosis.
