  • type II trimeric transmembrane glycoprotein
  • basic FUNCTION
  • oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor
  • involved in the pathologic deposition of cholesterol in arterial walls during atherogenesis
  • multifunctional, multiligand pattern recognition receptor with roles in innate immunity, apoptotic cell clearance, and age-related degenerative pathologies
  • mediates the uptake of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol
  • suppresses leukemia stem cells (LSCs) and CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) development
  • suppresses the macrophage activation by inhibiting the binding of LPS (lipopolysaccharide) to TLR4 in a competitive manner and it plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the LPS-induced inflammatory response
  • suppresses LPS-induced macrophage activation by competitive binding LPS to reduce TLR4 signaling
  • CD36 and MSR1 involved in the development and/or progression of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
  • important role in cerebrovascular amyloid pathology
  • enhancement of MSR1 via inhibition of PPARG appears to be the most likely basis of sustained ox-LDL uptake in the absence or presence of OLR1
  • participate in the maintenance of immunological tolerance
  • influences B cell autoimmunity by regulating soluble autoantigen concentration
  • participates in the regulation of inflammatory processes against pathogens and in inflammatory stimulation
  • participates likely in the modulation of signaling pathways involved in the production of soluble molecules implicated in the neuroinflammatory response
  • multifunctional molecule that participates in macrophage-mediated inflammation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense , endocytosis transport

    protein
  • with SCARF1 and SCARB1 are receptors for UMOD
  • recognize the exchangeable apolipoproteins AI and E (apo AI and apo E, respectively) in both lipid-free and lipid-associated form
  • OLR1 stimulates PPARG and subsequently enhances CD36 and inhibits MSR1 in macrophages
  • is required for LPS-induced TLR4 mediated NFKB1 activation in macrophages
  • is critical for AGT-induced vascular remodeling by regulating macrophage polarization
