Anti-CD36, Low Endotoxin (gpIIIb, gpIV, Thrombospondin Receptor)

The CD36 molecule is type B scavenger receptor, which binds to multiple ligands including thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids, oxidized low density lipoproteins and long chain fatty acids. CD36 has diverse functions and is reported to play a role in innate immunity, platelet adhesion/aggregation and long chain fatty acid transport. The CD36 molecule also directly mediates cytoadhesion of erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium Falciparum, and may be involved in the development of atherosclerotic lesions and the formation of foam cells.
