AffiAB® Anti-Hu LOX1 Purified

LOX1, a 31 kDa type II transmembrane protein, is a C-type lectin, functioning as a scavenger receptor for e.g. oxidized low density lipoprotein, apoptotic heat shock proteins, or CRP. It is expressed by macrophages, fibroblasts, platelets, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, and its defects can lead to atherosclerosis. Its expression is enhanced under inflammatory conditions. Multiple splicing variants have been identified.
