Background Phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) is one of four scramblases encoded in the human genome (1). Phospholipid scramblases function to catalyze calcium-mediated ATP-independent mobilization of phospholipids between the inner and outer leaflet of plasma membrane in activated, injured, or apoptotic cells. PLSCR1 is a type II transmembrane protein with a short nine amino acid C-terminal domain and a long N-terminal extracellular domain. Although PLSCR1 is part of a family of proteins that function to catalyze phospholipid mobilization, PLSCR1 may have alternative functions (2,3). Rather, PLSCR1 may function to activate cell signaling pathways, particularly in phagocytic cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage (4). Microglia, resident macrophages of the brain, play a key role in clearance of cellular and pathologic debris, where altered phagocytosis may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. PLSCR1 may regulate microglia phagocytosis, representing a potential therapeutic target to modulate microglia phagocytosis (5).
