Human Gene CD36 (ENST00000435819.5) Description and Page Index

Description: Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Receptor for thombospondins, THBS1 AND THBS2, mediating their antiangiogenic effects. (from UniProt P16671)

	ID: CD36_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Platelet glycoprotein 4; AltName: Full=Fatty acid translocase; Short=FAT; AltName: Full=Glycoprotein IIIb; Short=GPIIIB; AltName: Full=Leukocyte differentiation antigen CD36; AltName: Full=PAS IV; AltName: Full=PAS-4; AltName: Full=Platelet collagen receptor; AltName: Full=Platelet glycoprotein IV; Short=GPIV; AltName: Full=Thrombospondin receptor; AltName: CD_antigen=CD36; FUNCTION: Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Receptor for thombospondins, THBS1 AND THBS2, mediating their antiangiogenic effects. SUBUNIT: Interacts with THBS1 and THBS2; the interactions mediate the THBS antiangiogenic activity. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. PTM: N-glycosylated and O-glycosylated with a ratio of 2:1. POLYMORPHISM: Genetic variations in CD36 are involved in susceptibility to malaria and influence the severity and outcome of malaria infection [MIM:611162]. DISEASE: Defects in CD36 are the cause of platelet glycoprotein IV deficiency (PG4D)[MIM:608404]; also known as CD36 deficiency. Platelet glycoprotein IV deficiency can be divided into 2 subgroups. The type I phenotype is characterized by platelets and monocytes/macrophages exhibiting complete CD36 deficiency. The type II phenotype lacks the surface expression of CD36 in platelets, but expression in monocytes/macrophages is near normal. DISEASE: Genetic variations in CD36 are associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease type 7 (CHDS7) [MIM:610938]. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CD36 family.
