Background
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SCARB1), also known as CD36L1, is an integral membrane protein found in numerous cell types and tissues that is mainly expressed in the liver and the adrenal glands. Its primary function is facilitating the uptake of cholesteryl esters from high-density lipoproteins (HDL) due to its high affinity to HDL. This function serves to lower the risk of development of atherosclerosis. SCARB1 is also able to bind to other lipoproteins such as LDL, OxLDL, and VLDL. SCARB1 is also likely to be involved in pathogen recognition through its recognition of mycobacteria and other viral proteins and regulates vitamin E levels in the tissue.
