Epidermal Growth Factor-Like Domain Repeat of Stabilin-2 Recognizes Phosphatidylserine during Cell Corpse Clearance
24 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the cell surface occurs early during apoptosis and serves as a recognition signal for phagocytes. Clearance of apoptotic cells by a membrane PS receptor is one of the critical anti-inflammatory functions of macrophages. However, the PS binding receptors and their recognition mechanisms have not been fully investigated. Recently, we reported that stabilin-2 is a PS receptor...
