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.

The asialoglycoprotein receptor 2 (ASGR2) sometimes called Ashwell receptor subunit 2 is a transmembrane protein with a mass of approximately 46 kDa. ASGR2 combines with a similar protein ASGR1 to form a functional receptor complex. It is mostly found in the liver playing an important role in endocytosis by binding galactose-terminated glycoproteins. The receptor facilitates the clearance of these glycoproteins from the bloodstream making the liver a major site for their catabolism.
ASGR2 participates in regulating serum glycoprotein levels. It is part of the asialoglycoprotein receptor complex working with ASGR1 to internalize glycoproteins for lysosomal degradation. This process is important for maintaining homeostasis of serum proteins and influencing liver function. Its activity affects hepatocyte turnover and cellular response to extracellular stimuli within the liver.
ASGR2 is involved in the endocytosis and trafficking pathways. These pathways guide the internalization and lysosomal degradation of serum glycoproteins. ASGR2's interaction with ASGR1 through these pathways highlights its role in glycoprotein metabolism. Additionally its function intersects with the complement system's mannose-binding protein affecting immune response by clearing immune complexes.
ASGR2's dysfunction correlates with liver conditions like congenital disorders of glycosylation and hepatitis B virus infection. In hepatitis B altered ASGR2 function affects virus binding and clearance. The asialoglycoprotein receptor complex including the ASGR1/ASGR2 interaction is central to understanding changes in liver pathology and therapeutic targeting of liver diseases.
