General annotation (Comments)

Function

Seems to have numerous potential physiological functions. Binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. May function as a cell adhesion molecule. Directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Receptor for thombospondins, THBS1 AND THBS2, mediating their antiangiogenic efects. Ref.20 Ref.22

Subunit structure

Interacts with THBS1 and THBS2; the interactions mediate the THBS antiangiogenic activity. Ref.12

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated and O-glycosylated with a ratio of 2:1. Ref.8 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16

Polymorphism

Genetic variations in CD36 are involved in susceptibility to malaria and influence the severity and outcome of malaria infection [MIM:611162].

Involvement in disease

Defects in CD36 are the cause of platelet glycoprotein IV deficiency (PG4D)[MIM:608404]; also known as CD36 deficiency. Platelet glycoprotein IV deficiency can be divided into 2 subgroups. The type I phenotype is characterized by platelets and monocytes/macrophages exhibiting complete CD36 deficiency. The type II phenotype lacks the surface expression of CD36 in platelets, but expression in monocytes/macrophages is near normal. Ref.17 Ref.21

Genetic variations in CD36 are associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease type 7 (CHDS7) [MIM:610938]. Ref.23

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the CD36 family.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAM14636.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 53.
