Potentials of cd36 in sensing apoptotic cells and modulating hemin mediated immune response from macrophages

Abstract

The macrophages express various receptors on their surface to assist in the innate immune response The scavenger receptors expressed on the macrophage cell surface are involved in a broad range of functions including metabolism sensing of biomolecules and regulating homeostasis in the host Among the scavenger receptors the class B receptor CD36 is of interest to many researchers because of its indispensable functional roles in angiogenesis inflammation and pathogen clearance from t...
