Summary
PMID 20162551
[Homo sapiens] MARCO is upregulated in TLR4-mediated LPS responses and these receptors contribute to the efficient capturing and clearance of invading microbial pathogens.

[Mus musculus] Autophagy regulates phagocytosis by modulating the expression of scavenger receptors, Marco and Msr1
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000019169:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the class A scavenger receptor family and is part of the innate antimicrobial immune system. The protein may bind both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria via an extracellular, C-terminal, scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain. In addition to short cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains, there is an extracellular spacer domain and a long, extracellular collagenous domain. The protein may form a trimeric molecule by the association of the collagenous domains of three identical polypeptide chains. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
