SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the CD36 family.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

N-glycosylated and O-glycosylated with a ratio of 2:1.; Ubiquitinated at Lys-469 and Lys-472. Ubiquitination is induced by fatty acids such as oleic acid and leads to degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitination and degradation are inhibited by insulin which blocks the effect of fatty acids.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Cell membrane. Golgi apparatus.

FUNCTION

CD36 (collagen type I receptor, thrombospondin receptor, FAT, GP4, GP3B, GPIV, PASIV, SCARB3) is a membrane glycoprotein on platelets, monocytes and umbilical vein endothelial cells. CD36 binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. CD36 plays a key role in both phagocytosis and lipid recycling, for constant production of mature spermatozoa. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. Thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins that influence a variety of adhesive processes and CD36 may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule.
