SREC‐II (scavenger receptor expressed by endothelial cells II) is a membrane protein encoded by the SCARF2 gene, with high homology to class F scavenger receptor SR‐F1, but no known scavenging function.

Scavenger receptors in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Membership in the broad family of scavenger receptors has grown significantly. Two new scavenger receptor receptors have been cloned (SR-BI and SR-CI) and a previously isolated integral membrane protein (CD36) has been found to possess lipoprotein binding properties that entitle it to be included in the family. The breadth of ligand recognition of this

Aberrant expression of scavenger receptor class B type 1 has been reported in several human cancers. Nevertheless, the roles of scavenger receptor class B type 1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the

Scavenger receptors in host defense: from functional aspects to mode of action
Scavenger receptors belong to a superfamily of proteins that are structurally heterogeneous and encompass the miscellaneous group of transmembrane proteins and soluble secretory extracellular domain.

Evolution of Fc Receptor-Like Scavenger in Mammals
Fc receptor-like (FCRL) molecules comprise a large family of receptors, homologous to the receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins (FCR). Within this family, an unusual gene known to exist in mice, rats and dogs, termed FCRLS, encodes a chimeric ...

Scavenger receptors act as membrane-bound and soluble proteins that bind to macromolecular complexes and pathogens. This diverse supergroup of proteins mediates binding to modified lipoprotein particles which regulate the initiation and progression of ...

CXCR7 functions as a scavenger for CXCL12 and CXCL11. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:CXCR7 (RDC1), the recently discovered second receptor for CXCL12, is phylogenetically closely related to chemokine receptors, but fails to couple to G-proteins and to induce typical chemokine receptor mediated cellular responses.

Scavenger receptor mediates systemic RNA interference in ticks. [PDF]
RNA interference is an efficient method to silence gene and protein expressions. Here, the class B scavenger receptor CD36 (SRB) mediated the uptake of exogenous dsRNAs in the induction of the RNAi responses in ticks.

Revising Berg-Purcell for finite receptor kinetics [PDF]
From nutrient uptake, to chemoreception, to synaptic transmission, many systems in cell biology depend on molecules diffusing and binding to membrane receptors. Mathematical analysis of such systems often neglects the fact that receptors process molecules at finite kinetic rates.

Deletion of the murine scavenger receptor CD68 [PDF]
Scavenger receptors (ScRs) are a structurally unrelated family of receptors with the ability to bind modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) as well as a broad range of polyanionic ligands. CD68, whose expression is restricted to mononuclear phagocytes, is a unique ScR family member, owing to its lysosome associated membrane protein (LAMP)-like domain ...
