CD36

The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines. Since thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins involved in a variety of adhesive processes, this protein may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and it binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Interaction

Interacts with THBS1 and THBS2; the interactions mediate the THBS antiangiogenic activity (PubMed:1371676). Upon interaction with a ligand, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) or amyloid-beta 42, rapidly forms a complex with TLR4 and TLR6; the complex is internalized and triggers an inflammatory signal. Through its C-terminus, interacts with PTK2, PXN and LYN, but not with SRC. LYN kinase activity is required for facilitating TLR4:TLR6 heterodimerization and signal initiation (PubMed:1371676, 20037584). Upon interaction with ligands such as diacylated lipopeptides, interacts with the TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer (PubMed:16880211). Interacts with CD9, CD81, FCER1G, ITGB2 and/or ITGB2; forming a membrane heteromeric complex required for the internalization of CD36 and its ligands (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Binds to Plasmodium falciparum EMP1.
