SCARA3 scavenger receptor class A member 3 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 51435)

Symbol: SCARA3

Full name: scavenger receptor class A member 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: APC7; CSR; CSR1; MSLR1; MSRL1

Summary: This gene encodes a macrophage scavenger receptor-like protein. This protein has been shown to deplete reactive oxygen species, and thus play an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. The expression of this gene is induced by oxidative stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
