Application

Asialofetuin from fetal calf serum is suitable for use:
  • in the assay of the lactose binding activity of the galectin-7 by immunodetection of in situ binding activity to asialofetuin immobilized on nitrocellulose
  • in the inhibition of zona pellucida hardening of mouse oocytes
  • as an acceptor in sialyltransferase enzyme activity assay
Incorporation of asialofetuin (AF) in liposomes strongly enhance delivery to and endocytosis by cells displaying the AF receptor, notably hepatocytes. This provides a very efficient route for gene therapy.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Asialofetuin (AF) binds to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) and is employed as a ligand for drug delivery to the hepatocytes. It aids serum-resistant lipoplexes for efficient gene deliver into the HepG2 (human hepatoblastoma) cells.
Feutins are glycoproteins that belong to the cystatin superfamily. They are characterized by the presence of two tandemly arranged cystatin-like domains and an unrelated domain. It binds to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/BMP (bone morphogenic protein) cytokines.

The hepatic acute phase response is accompanied by increased levels of Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase activity in liver and in circulation. Previous studies suggested that cytokines and glucocorticoids mediate the induction of this sialyltransferase activity. In this study the
