Glycan-mediated binding to collagen by a C-type lectin-like domain of the endocytic receptor Endo180 / uPARAP.
The primary role of the multidomain endocytic receptor designated Endo180 or uPARAP (urokinase-plasminogen activator receptor associated protein) is to facilitate internalization of collagen for lysosomal degradation during matrix remodeling in tissues. However, Endo180 interacts both with collagen and sugars and the r...
