SCARB1 iso2 Receptor for different ligands such as phospholipids, cholesterol ester, lipoproteins, phosphatidylserine and apoptotic cells. Receptor for HDL, mediating selective uptake of cholesteryl ether and HDL-dependent cholesterol efflux. Also facilitates the flux of free and esterified cholesterol between the cell surface and apoB-containing lipoproteins and modified lipoproteins, although less efficiently than HDL. May be involved in the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, via its phosphatidylserine binding activity. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus in hepatocytes and appears to facilitate its cell entry. Binding between SCARB1 and the hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E2 is independent of the genotype of the viral isolate. Mediates uptake of M.fortuitum, E.coli and S.aureus. Belongs to the CD36 family. Widely expressed. 5 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
