In molecular biology, the protein domain SRCR is short for Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain. They are found solely in eukaryotes. These domains are present on the cell membrane and have a role in binding to specific ligands and are often found to be involved with the immune system.[1]

Function

The function of these endocytic receptors are to mediating non-opsonic phagocytosis in response to foreign ligands. This triggers various processes of host defence and immune response.[2]

Structure

The structure contains a six stranded beta-sheet and one alpha-helix.[1]

Examples

The speract receptor found in egg, is a transmembrane glycoprotein.[3] Other members of this family include the macrophage scavenger receptor type I, an enteropeptidase, and T-cell surface glycoprotein CD5.

gollark: Ah, so apparently PEP 393 says it'll use ASCII then Latin1 then UCS-2 then UCS-4 to preserve constant timeness.

gollark: It has "namespaces".

gollark: Yes.

gollark: And one of the defaults is !!UTF-16!!.
