InnateDB Annotation
Summary
CD36 mediates host defence against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans through cytokine production.
CD36 ectodomain binds negatively charged diacylglycerol ligands and CD36, along with CD14, has a non-redundant role for loading ligands onto TLR2 in the plasma-membrane.
CD36 is a selective and non-redundant sensor of microbial diacylglycerides that signal via the TLR2/6 heterodimer.
CD36-TLR4-TLR6 activation is a common molecular mechanism by which atherogenic lipids and amyloid-beta stimulate sterile inflammation.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] 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 The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines. Since thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins involved in a variety of adhesive processes, this protein may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and it binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
