Function:Membrane glycoproteins implicated in the pathologic deposition of cholesterol in arterial walls during atherogenesis. Two types of receptor subunits exist. These receptors mediate the endocytosis of a diverse group of macromolecules, including modified low density lipoproteins (LDL). Isoform III does not internalize actetylated LDL.,similarity:Contains 1 collagen-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SRCR domain.,subunit:Homotrimer.,tissue specificity:Isoform I, isoform II and isoform III are expressed in monocyte-derived macrophages.,
