Extensive diet-induced atherosclerosis in scavenger receptor class B type 1-deficient mice is associated with substantial leukocytosis and elevated vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in coronary artery endothelium

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
High levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Mice that lack genes involved in the clearance of LDL from the bloodstream, such as the LDL

Standardizing Scavenger Receptor Nomenclature [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2014
Abstract Scavenger receptors constitute a large family of proteins that are structurally diverse and participate in a wide range of biological functions. These receptors are expressed predominantly by myeloid cells and recognize a variety of ligands, including endogenous and modified host-derived molecules and microbial pathogens.

Lack of a direct role for macrosialin in oxidized LDL metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Murine macrosialin (MS), a scavenger receptor family member, is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed predominantly in macrophage late endosomes. MS is also found on the cell surface where it is suggested, on the basis of ligand blotting,

A comparative study of sulphated polysaccharide effects on advanced glycation end-product uptake and scavenger receptor class A level in macrophages

Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2020
Advanced glycation end-products, especially toxic advanced glycation end-products derived from glyceraldehyde (advanced glycation end-product-2) and glycolaldehyde (advanced glycation end-product-3), are biologically reactive compounds associated with ...

Scavenger receptors in atherosclerosis [PDF]

Current Opinion in Hematology, 1997
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

Amino terminus of apolipoprotein B suffices to produce recognition of malondialdehyde-modified low density lipoprotein by the scavenger receptor of human monocyte-macrophages

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
Malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation, produces threshold conversion of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to a form recognized by type I and type II scavenger receptors of monocyte-macrophages.

Factors regulating the activities of the low density lipoprotein receptor and the scavenger receptor on human monocyte-macrophages.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
Improved techniques of cell isolation resulted in 90 to 100 million monocytes from a single donor. Addition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to to cultures of these cells resulted in the down regulation of LDL receptor activity.

Insights into the ligand binding specificity of SREC‐II (scavenger receptor expressed by endothelial cells)

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
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.

Evolution of Fc Receptor-Like Scavenger in Mammals

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
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 in host defense: from functional aspects to mode of action

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022
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.
