Gene: SCARF1
Alternate names for this Gene: SREC|SREC-I|SREC1
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a scavenger receptor that is expressed in endothelial cells. It regulates the uptake of chemically modified low density lipoproteins, including acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL), and it may be involved in atherogenesis. This gene is regulated by the transcription factors ZNF444/EZF-2 and SP1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17p13.3
Description of this Gene: scavenger receptor class F member 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
