Recombinant Mouse Asialoglycoprotein receptor 2 (Asgr2),Partial

The process of expressing the recombinant mouse Asgr2 protein in the E.coli requires the recombinant DNA gene formed by the integration of encoding gene for the 80-301aa of the mouse Asgr2 protein and N-terminal 10xHis-SUMO tag and C-terminal Myc tag sequence, the expression vector that the recombinant DNA gene inserts into, the E.coli that provided the necessary macromolecules and components for transcription and translation of the cloned expression vector. After isolation and purification, this N-terminal 10xHis-SUMO-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged recombinant Asgr2 protein was obtained. This recombinant Asgr2 protein is characterized by high purity (>90%, SDS-PAGE). This Asgr2 protein ran along the gel to the band of approximately 45 kDa molecular weight.

Asialoglycoprotein receptor 2 (also abbreviated as ASGPR2),a subunit of the Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), is a protein encoding by a gene named Asgr2 in mouse and a gene named ASGR2 in human. Asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is a receptor specifically expressed by hepatocytes, and it is a highly efficient endocytic receptor. The main function of ASGPR is to remove asialoglycoprotein, apoptotic cells and lipoproteins in the blood circulation system. In addition to asialoceruloplasmin, ASGPR can also bind to many other asialoglycoproteins, such as erythropoietin, interferon, thyroglobulin, transferrin, hepatoglobulin, fetuin, prothrombin and so on.
