The mediation of the endocytosis of plasma glycoproteins from which the terminal sialic acid residue on their complex carbohydrate moieties 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. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity, and spanning to the membrane of either the cell or an organelle.
