Serum concentrations of asialoglycoproteins are increased in cirrhosis. We hypothesized that this increase results from abnormalities in the asialoglycoprotein receptor, which is located on the sinusoidal and lateral membrane of hepatocytes. Therefore we searched for morphological alterations in the

Insulin has both short- and long-term effects on cellular metabolism. The short-term effects are known to involve the insulin receptor, a protein kinase capable of phosphorylating itself and other proteins. The role of the receptor was elucidated by studies of a mutant insulin receptor which lacked
The expression of androgen receptor messenger RNA in hepatocellular carcinomas and hepatoma cell lines was studied using Northern-blot analysis and the complementary DNA-polymerase chain reaction method. Androgen receptor messenger RNAs were detected (although in low levels) in both hepatocellular c
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) processing was investigated in a human hepatoma-derived cell line, Hep G2. Hep G2 cells bound, internalized and degraded LDL via a saturable, high affinity (Kd -2 x lo-' M ) pathway similar to that present in other mammalian cells. Although 80% of the uptake and degrada
