This protein expresses mainly in liver and to a lesser extent in spleen lymph nodes and other immune-related tissues. The CD5L protein acts as a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily member which participates in pathogen recognition and clearance. Researchers often measure CD5L levels using CD5L ELISA kits providing quantitative analysis of this biomarker in various biological samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCD5L influences several immune processes modulating macrophage function and lipid metabolism. It plays a role within a complex system transforming macrophages into an anti-inflammatory phenotype. This helps the clearance of apoptotic cells and prevents tissue damage during inflammation. CD5L also impacts cholesterol homeostasis contributing to lipid clearance and influencing foam cell formation which serves a significant role in atherosclerosis development.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThis protein integrates into the lipid metabolism pathway and the immune regulation pathway. Within the lipid metabolism pathway interaction with proteins such as apolipoprotein AI demonstrates its role in controlling cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In the immune regulation pathway CD5L collaborates with other immune-related proteins including CD36 and TLR2 to regulate immune response and inflammation affecting macrophage activation and phagocytosis.\u003cbr\u003e\nCD5L associates with atherosclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Researchers link elevated CD5L levels with atherosclerosis due to its ability to drive macrophage transformation into foam cells linking it with cardiovascular diseases. In systemic lupus erythematosus CD5L interacts with protein serum amyloid A (SAA) exacerbating the inflammatory processes associated with autoimmune disorders. Understanding CD5L's role may provide insights for developing therapeutic strategies for these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843908587689,"sku":"ab184604","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab184604","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
