Medical Definition of Asialoglycoprotein

1. The carbohydrate moiety of many vertebrate glycoproteins bears terminal residues of sialic acid. If such residues are removed, for example by treatment with a neuraminidase, the resulting proteins are known as asialoglycoproteins. In the case of certain plasma proteins, the asialo derivatives are specifically bound by a receptor on the surface of liver parenchymal cells (the clearance receptor). (18 Nov 1997)
