Scavenger Receptors and Atherosclerosis

Scavenger Receptors and Atherosclerosis

Scavenger receptors were discovered as cell surface proteins capable of binding and internalization of modified lipoproteins. These receptors exhibit a broad ligand binding specificity including potential physiological and pathophysiological ligands other than modified lipoproteins. Different classe...
