Anti-CD204/Msr1 Antibody Picoband®

Macrophage scavenger receptor 1, also known as MSR1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MSR1 gene. Enables amyloid-beta binding activity; cargo receptor activity; and low-density lipoprotein particle binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endocytosis; positive regulation of cholesterol storage; and positive regulation of macrophage derived foam cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within lipoprotein transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; neural tube; reproductive system; and yolk sac. Human ortholog (s) of this gene implicated in Barrett's esophagus; arteriosclerosis; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human MSR1 (macrophage scavenger receptor 1) .

Isoform 2 and isoform 3 function as proton-gated sodium channels; they are activated by a drop of the extracellular pH and then become rapidly desensitized. The channel generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. Has high selectivity for sodium ions and can also transport lithium ions with high efficiency. Isoform 2 can also transport potassium, but with lower efficiency. It is nearly impermeable to the larger rubidium and cesium ions. Isoform 3 can also transport calcium ions. Mediates glutamate-independent Ca2+entry into neurons upon acidosis. This Ca2+overloading is toxic for cortical neurons and may be in part responsible for ischemic brain injury. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties. Functions as a postsynaptic proton receptor that influences intracellular Ca2+concentration and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylation and thereby the density of dendritic spines. Modulates activity in the circuits underlying innate fear.
