| basic FUNCTION
| involved in host defenses |
|
might play important roles in host defenses and/or atherosclerosis formation  |
|
having scavenger function as to carbohydrate-containing ligands |
|
may participate in removing oxidatively damaged or apoptotic cells |
|
could be the receptor involved in the binding or clearing of Abeta by glial and vascular/perivascular cells in Alzheimer disease |
|
mediates the recognition, internalization and degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein |
|
predominantly mediated phagocytosis for fungi in vascular endothelia |
|
may be playing a role in the clearance of amyloid beta in Alzheimer disease |
|
shares structural features with both collectins and type A scavenger receptors |
|
plays a role in the host defense system and in the clearance of glycoproteins from the blood |
