Embodiment
[0547] Proper protein secretion (section) and turnover are necessary processes to maintain homeostasis. Newly synthesized proteins targeted for secretion are first transported to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are post-translationally modified with sialic acid-terminal N-linked glycan chains (1). As proteins age, terminal sialic acid residues are removed by circulating endogenous glycosidases (2). This natural protein aging process exposes galactose and N-acetylgalactose (GalNAc) residues, which bind to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the surface of hepatocytes (3-5).
[0548] ASGPR is a C-type lectin that removes aged circulating proteins as well as exposed GalNAc residues from circulation by transporting them into lysosomes. Display of multiple galactose or GalNAc residues on the protein surface is essential for high affinity binding - and subsequent endocytosis by - ASGPR (6, 7). Once these proteins are endocytosed, they are released from ASGPR by deplet...
