Acetyl group-binding receptor which shows a high-affinity and calcium-dependent binding to acetylated structures such as chitin, some N-acetylated carbohydrates, and amino acids, but not to their non-acetylated counterparts. Can facilitate the endocytosis of acetylated components.
Subcellular locations: Membrane
Expressed in the small and large intestinal epithelial cells with a highly polarized localization to the apical surface corresponding to the brush border and in the ducts of the salivary gland.
