The role of the cytoplasmic domain of the macrophage scavenger receptor MARCO in adhesion and uptake

Abstract:

The macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) is a class A scavenger receptor. Class A scavenger receptors are multifunctional type II transmembrane glycoproteins that have roles in modified lipoprotein uptake, innate immunity, and macrophage adhesion. It has been shown that the extracellular cysteine-rich domain of MARCO is important for ligand binding, but the role of the cytoplasmic N-terminal domain has not yet been characterised. The aim of this study was to investigate t...
