Description
Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; cellular response to oxidised low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus; and negative regulation of dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. Located in lysosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart blood vessel; liver; spleen; and tooth. Orthologous to human CD68 (CD68 molecule).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells.
