Schematic representation of the possible roles of AAVR in the AAV life cycle - (i) AAV binds to HSPG, allowing subsequent interaction with AAVR at the cell surface, which facilitates entry into the endosomal network; (ii) AAVR interacts with AAV in the endosomal system and facilitates trafficking to the trans-Golgi. (iii) Once in the trans-Golgi network, AAVR facilitates AAV escape into the cytoplasm.
