title: Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of cDNA encoding the macrophage lectin specific for galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine.
abstract: The primary structure of the macrophage lectin specific for galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine (macrophage asialoglycoprotein-binding protein, M-ASGP-BP) has been deduced from its cDNA sequence. The M-ASGP-BP cDNA encoded a protein consisting of 306 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 34,242 daltons. The sequence was highly homologous with that of the rat liver asialoglycoprotein receptor (rat hepatic lectin, RHL), particularly that of RHL-1 (the major form of RHL), throughout its whole length, and especially so in its putative membrane-spanning region and carbohydrate recognition domain. There were two N-glycosylation sites in M-ASGP-BP, the location of which were identical to those in RHL-1. However, M-ASGP-BP was characteristic in having a shorter cytoplasmic tail, and an inserted segment of 24 amino acids containing an Arg-Gly-Asp sequence between the membrane-spanning region and carbohydrate recognition domain.
