CD36L1 (SR-BI) Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT05996

Clone REA716 recognizes the human CD36L1 antigen, an integral membrane protein, also known as SR-BI. CD36L1 is widly expressed, e.g. on macrophages, dendritic cells, adrenocortical cells, adipocytes, and trophoblastic cells. In hepatocytes, CD36L1 acts as a receptor for hepatitis C. It has been reported, that CD36L1 is able to bind HCV envelope glycoprotein E2, participate in entry of HCV pseudotype particles, and modulate HCV infection. Furthermore, CD36L1 is a receptor for different ligands such as phospholipids, cholesterol ester, lipoproteins, vitamin E, phosphatidylserine, and apoptotic c
