epitope corresponding to amino acids 532-830 of SREC of human origin
Modification Notes
Scavenger receptors mediate the endocytosis and degradation of chemically modified low density lipoproteins (LDL), such as acetylated LDL (Ac-LDL) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL). The scavenger receptor expressed by endothelial cells (SREC) primarily binds Ac-LDL and aids in its degradation. However, it has been shown to bind other ligands such as Ox-LDL, which suggests that SREC has a binding specificity similar to the type I and II macrophage scavenger receptors. SREC is expressed in HUVEC, CAE, and CASM cell lines. It is characterized by an extra-cellular amino-terminal domain with five epidermal growth factor-like cysteine pattern signatures and an unusually long cytoplasmic carboxy-terminal domain. SREC is thought to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis as it mediates the recruitment, activation, and transformation of macrophages after endothelial cell injury.
