    motifs/domains
  • a leader peptide (40AA)
  • an extra cellular domain of 1003 residues containing nine long type scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains, with SRCR domain 3 that is an exposed domain and a critical determinant for the calcium-sensitive coupling of haptoglobin
  • a transmembrane segment of 24 residues
  • a cytoplasmic domain of 49 AA
  • conjugated GlycoP
    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • scavenger receptor cystein-rich (SRCR) superfamily
  • class B subfamily
  • CATEGORY antigen , receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
        plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in myeloid specific gene expression, signal inducing
  • activation of CD163 on hematopoietic progenitor cells may mediate a stimulatory effect on erythropoiesis
  • adhesion receptor for erythroblasts in erythroblastic islands, and may have a regulatory role during erythropoiesis
  • macrophage receptor for endocytosis of haptoglobin
  • scavenger receptor pathway involved in detoxification and clearance of extracellular hemoglobin (Hb)
  • acting as a receptor for hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and to mediate cell-cell interactions between macrophages and developing erythroblasts in erythroblastic islands
  • macrophage receptor for bacteria and during bacterial infection, on resident tissue macrophages acts as an innate immune sensor and inducer of local inflammation
  • soluble form of human CD163 is released from the cell surface by proteolysis after oxidative stress or inflammatory stimuli
  • scavenger receptor for haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes, that is shedded (as sCD163) by inflammatory stimuli

    small molecule other,
  • bind both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, and a previously identified cell-binding motif in the second scavenger domain of CD163 was sufficient to mediate this binding
  • protein
  • PF4 may promote atherogenesis by suppressing CD163 in macrophages, which are then unable to upregulate the atheroprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 in response to hemoglobin
  • ADAM17 mediates ectodomain shedding of the scavenger receptor CD163
  • overexpression of CD163 by macrophages may be involved in the development of preretinal fibrovascular membranes (FVMs)in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), partly through periostin production

  • soluble CD163 may be a potential biomarker for the severity of diabetic polyneuropathy
  • soluble CD163 values were significantly higher in bone marrow samples than in the matched blood samples, and is a a novel biomarker in multiple myeloma
  • may have a role as a biomarker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity suggesting that resident macrophages are important for joint destruction
