| Short Name | Scarf2 |
| description | The class F scavenger receptors (SCARFsor SRECs) have two isoforms, SCARF1/SREC-I and SCARF2/SREC-II. Similar to SREC-I, SREC-II contains multiple epidermal growth factor-like repeats in its extracellular domain. However, in contrast to SREC-I, SREC-II had little activity to internalize modified low density lipoproteins (LDL). SREC-II and SREC-I display strong heterophilic trans-interaction through the extracellular domains []. They are expressed in a specific temporal and spatial pattern during epidermal development [].Mutations in the SCARF2 gene cause Van den Ende-Gupta syndrome (VDEGS), a syndrome characterised by craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities []. |
