It is proved that any function of a Lusin-type class, the class of ACGr-functions, is differentiable almost everywhere in the sense of a derivative defined in the space L r , 1 ≤ r < ∞. This leads to obtaining a full descriptive characterization of a Henstock-Kurzweil-type integral, the HKrintegral, which serves to recover functions from their L rderivatives. The class ACGr is compared with the classical Lusin class ACG and it is shown that a continuous ACGfunction can fail to be L r -differentiable almost everywhere.
