Galactose-specific elimination of human asialotransferrin by the bone marrow in the rabbit
Abstract
Rabbit bone marrow accretes and degrades human asialotransferrin in vivo through a mechanism that recognizes the exposed galactose groups in this glycoprotein. After the liver, rabbit bone marrow is the second mammalian tissue now being identified as possessing a galactose-specific pathway for the elimination of a plasma protein. However, comparative studies with desialylated glycoproteins containing bi-, tri-, and tetraantennary glycans …
