CD163 known also as hemoglobin scavenger receptor is a membrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. It is predominantly expressed by monocytes and macrophages which are types of immune cells. Located on the cell surface CD163 functions as a receptor that aids in the clearance of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes playing a critical role in maintaining iron homeostasis and protecting tissues from oxidative damage. CD163 is not limited to human cells only; researchers often study its function using animal models such as chimeric rodents and chimeric rats.
Biological function summary
CD163 participates in anti-inflammatory processes and is linked to immune modulation. It plays a pivotal role in the resolution of inflammation and promotes the removal of damaged cells and tissues. Through its involvement in the endocytic pathway CD163 interacts with various ligands facilitating interactions with other proteins. In the context of research CD163 functionality can be analyzed using techniques like CD163 IHC CD163 ELISA and CD163 stain in both human and mouse models.
Pathways
CD163 is integral to the inflammation and immune response pathways. It participates in the heme-oxygenase pathway which is essential in the breakdown of heme into biliverdin free iron and carbon monoxide. This pathway involvement is tightly linked with heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) a cytoprotective enzyme that helps to mitigate inflammatory responses. The interaction with haptoglobin and related proteins provides further insight into its regulatory roles within the immune system.
CD163 is associated with conditions like atherosclerosis and acute inflammation disorders. Its elevated levels indicate macrophage activation observed in chronic inflammations such as cardiovascular diseases. In atherosclerosis CD163 expression correlates with the uptake of oxidized LDL connecting it to progression of the disease. Additionally soluble CD163 levels serve as a biomarker in conditions like chronic liver disease where it is linked to macrophage activation and fibrosis. Within these disorders proteins like LDL and inflammatory cytokines are closely associated with CD163 function and regulation.
