ASGR2 - asialoglycoprotein receptor 2 Gene
Also Known as HL-2; HBXBP; ASGPR2; ASGP-R2; CLEC4H2
Species: Homo sapiens
About ASGR2
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 141 orthologues and 14 paralogues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 120.6) and gall bladder (RPKM 6.7).
Summary
This gene encodes a subunit of the asialoglycoprotein receptor. This receptor is a transmembrane protein that plays a critical role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis by mediating the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins with exposed terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues. The asialoglycoprotein receptor may facilitate hepatic Infection by multiple viruses including hepatitis B, and is also a target for liver-specific drug delivery. 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
