Abstract:
SCARB2 (scavenger receptor class B, member 2) is a lysosomal membrane glucoprotein, which is encoded by SCARB2 gene. It takes vital parts in the physiological and pathological processes including the transportation of beta-glucocerebrosidase to the lysosome, infection of EV71 and load-induced cardiac myocyte hypertrophy. This article has reviewed the molecular structure and functions of SCARB2 gene and its protein, as well as their relationship with diseases.
