| UniProt functional annotation for P07306 | |||
| UniProt code: P07306. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | 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. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with LASS2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11543633}. | |
| Subunit: | (Microbial infection) Interacts with hepatitis E virus capsid protein ORF2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27155063}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform H1a]: Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform H1b]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20886072}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed exclusively in hepatic parenchymal cells. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated on a cytoplasmic Ser residue. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Calcium is required for ligand binding. | |
