Function
- acts as a scavenger receptor for acetylated low density lipoprotein
- binds to both Gram-positive & Gram-negative bacteria & may play a role in defense against bacterial infection
- when inhibited in endothelial tube formation assays, there is a marked decrease in cell-cell interactions, suggesting a role in angiogenesis
- role in delivery of newly synthesized CHID1/SI-CLP from the biosynthetic compartment to the endosomal/lysosomal system
- interacts with CHID1
