SREC-II/SCARF2 Products

Description

The protein encoded by the SCARF2 gene is similar to SCARF1/SREC-I, a scavenger receptor protein that mediates the bindingand degradation of acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL). This protein has only little activity of internalizingmodified low density lipoproteins (LDL), but it can interact with SCARF1 through its extracellular domain. Theassociation of this protein with SCARF1 is suppressed by the presence of scavenger ligands. Alternatively splicedtranscript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
