| Description | This entry includes CD36 and CD36-like proteins, including SCARB1/2 from vertebrates and SNMP1/2 from flies. CD36 is a transmembrane, highly glycosylated, 88kDa glycoprotein expressed by monocytes, macrophages, platelets, microvascular endothelial cells and adipose tissues. Platelet glycoprotein IV (GP IV)(GPIIIb) (CD36 antigen) is also called GPIV, OKM5-antigen or PASIV. CD36 recognises oxidized low density lipoprotein, long chain fatty acids, anionic phospholipids, collagen types I, IV and V, thrombospondin (TSP) and Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes. The recognition of apoptotic neutrophils is in co-operation with TSP and avb3. Other ligands may still be unknown.CD36 is a scavenger receptor for oxidized LDL and shed photoreceptor outer segments and in recognition and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and is the cell adhesion molecule in platelet adhesion and aggregation, platelet-monocyte and platelet-tumor cell interaction [ ]. |
