The Evolution of the Scavenger Receptor Cysteine-Rich Domain of the Class A Scavenger Receptors
6 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
The class A scavenger receptor (cA-SR) family is a group of five evolutionarily related innate immune receptors. The cA-SRs are known for their promiscuous ligand binding; as they have been shown to bind bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, as well as different modified forms of low-density lipoprotein. Three of the five family members possess a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR)...
