Summary
Msr1 deficiency leads to greater sensitivity to LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Msr1 down-regulates inflammatory gene expression in dendritic cells by suppressing Tlr4-mediated activation of NFKB.
Msr1, one of the principal receptors expressed on macrophages, suppresses macrophage activation by inhibiting the binding of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to Tlr4 in a competitive manner; thus playing a pivotal role in the regulation of the LPS-induced inflammatory response.
Autophagy regulates phagocytosis by modulating the expression of scavenger receptors, Marco and Msr1
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] MSR1 is required for sensing human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) by endosomal TLR3 and TLR9 in monocytic THP-1 cells.
[Homo sapiens] MRS1 (SR-A) is upregulated in TLR4-mediated LPS responses and these receptors contribute to the efficient capturing and clearance of invading microbial pathogens.
[Homo sapiens] MSR1 deficiency leads to greater sensitivity to LPS-induced endotoxic shock. MSR1 down-regulates inflammatory gene expression in dendritic cells by suppressing TLR4-mediated activation of NFKB.
[Homo sapiens] MSR1, one of the principal receptors expressed on macrophages, suppresses macrophage activation by inhibiting the binding of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to TLR4 in a competitive manner; thus playing a pivotal role in the regulation of the LPS-induced inflammatory response. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] Deletion of MSR1 results in protection from septic shock and modulation of TLR4 signalling in peritoneal macrophages. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Homo sapiens] MSR1 and Cd36 share several ligands and are involved in largely overlapping physiological and pathological processes, but they differ significantly in their effects on proinflammatory and immunoregulatory functions of macrophages.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000038945:
This gene encodes the class A macrophage scavenger receptors, which include three different types (1, 2, 3) generated by alternative splicing of this gene. These receptors or isoforms are macrophage-specific trimeric integral membrane glycoproteins and have been implicated in many macrophage-associated physiological and pathological processes including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and host defense. The isoforms type 1 and type 2 are functional receptors and are able to mediate the endocytosis of modified low density lipoproteins (LDLs). The isoform type 3 does not internalize modified LDL (acetyl-LDL) despite having the domain shown to mediate this function in the types 1 and 2 isoforms. It has an altered intracellular processing and is trapped within the endoplasmic reticulum, making it unable to perform endocytosis. The isoform type 3 can inhibit the function of isoforms type 1 and type 2 when co-expressed, indicating a dominant negative effect and suggesting a mechanism for regulation of scavenger receptor activity in macrophages.
