The Evolution of the Scavenger Receptor Cysteine-Rich Domain of the Class A Scavenger Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The class A Scavenger Receptor (cA-SR) family is a group of five evolutionarily related innate immune receptors. The cA-SRs are known for their promiscuous ligand binding; as they have been shown to bind bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, and ...

Apoptotic cell recognition receptors and scavenger receptors [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2016 SummaryPhosphatidylserine recognition receptors are a highly diverse set of receptors grouped by their ability to recognize the ‘eat‐me’ signal phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells. Most of the phosphatidylserine recognition receptors dampen inflammation by inducing the production of anti‐inflammatory mediators during the phagocytosis of apoptotic ...

Scavenger Receptors and Atherosclerosis
Biological Research, 2000 Scavenger receptors were discovered as cell surface proteins capable of binding and internalization of modified lipoproteins. These receptors exhibit a broad ligand binding specificity including potential physiological and pathophysiological ligands ...

The evolution of the class A scavenger receptors [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background The class A scavenger receptors are a subclass of a diverse family of proteins defined based on their ability to bind modified lipoproteins. The 5 members of this family are strikingly variable in their protein structure and function, raising ...

Defective expression of scavenger receptors in celiac disease mucosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten sensitive enteropathy characterized by a marked infiltration of the mucosa with immune cells, over-production of inflammatory cytokines and epithelial cell damage.

Curr Biol, 2020 Scavenger receptors (SRs) are a large family of cell-surface receptors that are diverse in their structure and biological function and are divided into different classes. SRs can bind to a range of ligands and enhance the elimination of altered-self or non-self targets.

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.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Scavenger receptors were originally defined by their ability to bind and internalize modified lipoproteins. Macrophages express at least six structurally different cell surface receptors for modified forms of LDL that contribute to foam cell formation in

Loss of Function of Scavenger Receptor SCAV-5 Protects C. elegans Against Pathogenic Bacteria
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Scavenger receptors play a critical role in innate immunity by acting as the pattern-recognition receptors. There are six class B scavenger receptors homologs in C. elegans.
