Asialoglycoprotein

If terminal sialic acid residues are removed from glycoproteins, the resulting proteins are known as asialoglycoproteins.[1][2]

The exposure of the subterminal galactose residues results in rapid clearance of the glycoproteins from the circulation through hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein receptors on Kuppfer cells.
