“…More recently, and consistent with their putative role in intracellular transport, coated vesicles isolated from bovine adrenal cortex, human placenta, and rat liver have been shown to contain receptors specific for low density lipoproteins (13), transferrin (12), and insulin (23), respectively. The present study was undertaken in an attempt to ascertain whether the specific hepatic receptor for asialoglycoproteins (9,24) was detectable in highly purified coated vesicles from rat liver and, if so, to determine its topological orientation within the vesicle.…”
