Description
Enables lipoprotein particle binding activity; lipoteichoic acid immune receptor activity; and low-density lipoprotein particle receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including phagocytosis; positive regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Located in several cellular components, including brush border membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including axial skeleton; bone; connective tissue; hindlimb; and telencephalon. Used to study platelet-type bleeding disorder 10. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including blood platelet disease (multiple); hemolytic-uremic syndrome; osteoarthritis; pulmonary tuberculosis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CD36 (CD36 molecule (CD36 blood group)).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Multifunctional glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for a broad range of ligands. Ligands can be of proteinaceous nature like thrombospondin, fibronectin, collagen or amyloid-beta as well as of lipidic nature such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), anionic phospholipids, long-chain fatty acids and bacterial diacylated lipopeptides (PMID: 7685021). They are generally multivalent and can therefore engage multiple receptors simultaneously, the resulting formation of CD36 clusters initiates signal transduction and internalization of receptor-ligand complexes. The dependency on coreceptor signaling is strongly ligand specific. Cellular responses to these ligands are involved in angiogenesis, inflammatory response, fatty acid metabolism, taste and dietary fat processing in the intestine (Probable) (PMID: 19847289, PMID: 20037584, PMID: 23395392). Binds long-chain fatty acids and facilitates their transport into cells, thus participating in muscle lipid utilization, adipose energy storage, and gut fat absorption (PMID: 30605677). Mechanistically, binding of fatty acids activates downstream kinase LYN, which phosphorylates the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC5 and inactivates it, resulting in the subsequent depalmitoylation of CD36 and caveolar endocytosis (By similarity). In the small intestine, plays a role in proximal absorption of dietary fatty acid and cholesterol for optimal chylomicron formation, possibly through the activation of MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway (By similarity) (PMID: 17507371, PMID: 18753675, PMID: 21610069). Involved in oral fat perception and preferences (PMID: 16276419). Detection into the tongue of long-chain fatty acids leads to a rapid and sustained rise in flux and protein content of pancreatobiliary secretions (By similarity) (PMID: 16276419). In taste receptor cells, mediates the induction of an increase in intracellular calcium levels by long-chain fatty acids, leading to the activation of the gustatory neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (PMID: 18162488). Important factor in both ventromedial hypothalamus neuronal sensing of long-chain fatty acid and the regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis (By similarity) (PMID: 23557700). Receptor for thrombospondins, THBS1 and THBS2, mediating their antiangiogenic effects (PMID: 15748999). Involved in inducing apoptosis in podocytes in response to elevated free fatty acids, acting together with THBS1 (PMID: 25835637). As a coreceptor for TLR4:TLR6 heterodimer, promotes inflammation in monocytes/macrophages. Upon ligand binding, such as oxLDL or amyloid-beta 42, interacts with the heterodimer TLR4:TLR6, the complex is internalized and triggers inflammatory response, leading to NF-kappa-B-dependent production of CXCL1, CXCL2 and CCL9 cytokines, via MYD88 signaling pathway, and CCL5 cytokine, via TICAM1 signaling pathway, as well as IL1B secretion, through the priming and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome (PMID: 20037584, PMID: 23812099). Selective and nonredundant sensor of microbial diacylated lipopeptide that signal via TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer, this cluster triggers signaling from the cell surface, leading to the NF-kappa-B-dependent production of TNF, via MYD88 signaling pathway and subsequently is targeted to the Golgi in a lipid-raft dependent pathway (By similarity) (PMID: 15690042, PMID: 19847289).

(Microbial infection) Acts as an accessory receptor for M.tuberculosis lipoprotein LprA, in conjunction with coreceptors TLR2 and TLR1; the lipoprotein acts as an agonist to modulate antigen presenting cell functions in response to the pathogen (PMID: 19362712). Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and the internalization of particles independently of TLR signaling (PMID: 19864601, PMID: 23395392). Mediates uptake of E.coli and S.aureus but has no effect on uptake of M.fortuitum (PMID: 16020694).
