Galactose-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor is involved in lipoprotein (a) catabolism.
Lp(a) [lipoprotein (a)] is a highly atherogenic plasma lipoprotein assembled from low-density lipoprotein and the glycoprotein apolipoprotein (a). The rate of Lp(a) biosynthesis correlates significantly with plasma Lp(a) concentrations, whereas the fractional catabolic rate does not have much influence. So far, little is known about Lp(a) catabolism. To study the site and mode of Lp(a) cataboli...
متن کاملHepatitis A virus-specific immunoglobulin A mediates infection of hepatocytes with hepatitis A virus via the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
The mechanisms underlying the hepatotropism of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and the relapsing courses of HAV infections are unknown. In this report, we show for a mouse hepatocyte model that HAV-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) mediates infection of hepatocytes with HAV via the asialoglycoprotein receptor, which binds and internalizes IgA molecules. Proof of HAV infection was obtained by detection of...
متن کاملCarbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage in asialoglycoprotein receptor-deficient mice.
The asialoglycoprotein (ASGP) receptor is an abundant hepatocyte-specific receptor involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor's abundance and function is decreased by chronic ethanol administration prior to the appearance of pathology such as necrosis or inflammation. Hence, this study aimed to determine if ASGP receptor function is required to protect against liver injury by util...
متن کاملL-SIGN (CD 209L) is a liver-specific capture receptor for hepatitis C virus.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects nearly 3% of the population of the world and is a major cause of liver disease. However, the mechanism whereby the virus targets the liver for infection remains unknown, because none of the putative cellular receptors for HCV are both expressed specifically in the liver and capable of binding HCV envelope glycoproteins. Liver/lymph node-specific intercellular adh...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of the human asialoglycoprotein receptor.
The human asialoglycoprotein receptor was isolated via immune precipitation from hepatoma Hep G2 cells following incubation with [32P]Pi. Analysis on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed incorporation of 32P into both the 46 000 Da mature form of the receptor as well as the 40 000 Da precursor. The incorporated 32P was associated with phosphoserine. The degree of ...
