Scope note: Ámplio grupo de receptores de superficie, de estructura diversa, que intervienen en la captación endocítica de LIPOPROTEÍNAS modificadas. Los receptores depuradores se expresan en las CÉLULAS MIELOIDES y algunas CÉLULAS ENDOTELIALES. Originalmente se caracterizaron por razón de su capacidad para unirse a las LIPOPROTEÍNAS DE BAJA DENSIDAD acetiladas. Estos receptores también pueden unirse a muchos otros ligandos polianiónicos. Algunos receptores depuradores pueden internalizar microorganismos, así como células apoptósicas.

Scope note: A large group of structurally diverse cell surface receptors that mediate endocytic uptake of modified LIPOPROTEINS. Scavenger receptors are expressed by MYELOID CELLS and some ENDOTHELIAL CELLS, and were originally characterized based on their ability to bind acetylated LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. They can also bind a variety of other polyanionic ligand. Certain scavenger receptors can internalize micro-organisms as well as apoptotic cells.
