Gene information for SCARF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8578
Official gene symbolSCARF1
Full namescavenger receptor class F, member 1
Aliases,KIAA0149,MGC47738,SREC,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a scavenger receptor that is expressed in endothelial cells and mediates the binding and degradation of acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL). Transcription factors ZNF444/EZF-2 and SP1 are found to be responsible for the regulation of this gene. Five alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
