Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified a novel family of oxidized phosphatidylcholines (oxPC(CD36)) that serve as highly specific ligands for scavenger receptor CD36. oxPC(CD36) accumulate in vivo and mediate macrophage foam cell formation as well as promote platelet hyper-reactivity in hyperlipidemia via CD36. The structural basis of oxPC(CD36) binding to CD36 has not been elucidated. We used liquid-phase binding to...
