General description

ASGR1 (Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1) is a Ca2+-dependent, hepatocyte-specific, lectin membrane protein involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV) binding and uptake.[1] This 40-50kDa protein is expressed at the sinusoidal and basolateral hepatocellular membrane of the human liver. It is a hetero-oligomeric compound composed of two homologous, covalently bound polypeptides, called HL-1 (Hepatic Lectin, or ASGPR1, ASGR1) and HL-2 (ASGPR2, ASGR2), with HL-1 as the major subunit.

Immunogen

Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ASGR1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues.[2] These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting.[1] To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The transmembrane protein, ASGR1 (Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1), is highly involved in the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of desialylated proteins from the serum. It binds to desialylated proteins and degrades the extracellular glycoproteins with the release of terminal galactose, lactose or N-acetyl-galactosamine residues. It has been reported that ASGR1 expression is upregulated in embryonic stem cells upon hepatic differentiation.[1]

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
