| Short Name | SCARF1 |
| description | The class F scavenger receptor 1 (SCARF1/SREC-I) contains epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats in its extracellular domain, followed by a long C-terminal cytoplasmic tail composed of serine and proline-rich regions. SCARF1 is an endocytic receptor for acetylated low density lipoprotein, HSP70, HSP90, calreticulin, gp96, and GP2 [, , , , ]. Dendritic cells (DCs),macrophages and endothelial cells use SCARF1 to recognize and engulf apoptotic cells via the complement component C1q; this mediates apoptotic cells clearance, antigen clearance and prevents autoimmunity []. |
