GO:0004873 : asialoglycoprotein receptor activity
OLD: The mediation of the endocytosis of plasma glycoproteins from which the terminal sialic acid residue on their complex carbohydrate groups has been removed; recognizes the terminal galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine units; the complex of receptor and ligand is internalized and transported to a sorting organelle where disassociation occurs, the receptor being recycled to the cell membrane.
