CD204 also known as MSR1 or the macrophage scavenger receptor 1 is a class A scavenger receptor. It has a molecular mass of approximately 80-85 kDa. CD204 is mainly expressed on the surface of macrophages as well as some dendritic cells. This receptor plays a role in mediating the endocytosis of various polyanionic molecules such as modified low-density lipoproteins. CD204 serves as a recognition site for apoptotic cells signaling molecules and some types of bacteria.
Biological function summary
CD204 influences inflammatory responses and lipid metabolism. It does not function alone but as part of a complex involving several other molecules like pattern recognition receptors. CD204 recognizes and binds to modified lipoproteins and is significant in processes like phagocytosis and clearance of cellular debris. Its activity affects immune response modulation and can influence atherosclerosis development by its interaction with oxidized low-density lipoproteins.
Pathways
The role of CD204 extends to key cellular and immunological pathways. This receptor is involved in the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway which is important for innate immunity besides participating in the macrophage activation pathways. In these pathways CD204 interacts with other proteins including CD36 and SRA. This interaction helps coordinate inflammatory responses and the resolution of inflammation.
CD204 is associated with atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation. Its connection with these conditions arises from its role in lipid uptake and immune cell regulation within the vascular system. In the context of atherosclerosis CD204's interaction with Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) influences the formation of foam cells which are significant in the disease's progression. Similarly in chronic inflammation CD204 modulates macrophage behavior impacting the inflammatory environment and potentially affecting the disease outcome.
