Summary
Ligatin is a peripheral membrane protein found in mammalian and avian tissues during embryonic development and in early differentiated states. It is a receptor that localizes phosphoglycoproteins within endosomes and at the cell periphery where they participate in specific metabolic processes, as well as intercellular adhesion. Ligatin is, therefore, a trafficking receptor for phosphoglycoproteins (summary by Jakoi et al., 1989 [PubMed 2482295]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]
