A naturally occurring isoform of the human macrophage scavenger receptor (SR-A) gene generated by alternative splicing blocks modified LDL uptake
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
The class A macrophage scavenger receptors (SR-A) are macrophage-specific trimeric integral membrane glycoproteins that have been implicated in many macrophage-associated physiological and pathological processes including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and host defense. There are two forms of the receptor that have been previously cloned, and both are generated by alternative splicing of a single gene....
