Molecular Basis of Human CD36 Gene Mutations

Abstract: CD36 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the class B scavenger receptor family. The CD36 gene is located on chromosome 7 q11.2 and is encoded by 15 exons. Defective CD36 is a likely candidate gene for impaired fatty acid metabolism, glucose intolerance, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, Alzheimer disease, and modification of the clinical course of malaria. Contradictory data concerning the effects of antiatherosclerotic drugs on CD36 expression indicate that further investigation… Show more

“…CD36 gene deficiency is much more prevalent in Asian populations than in Caucasians (0%–0.3%) (Tanaka et al., 2001). This deficiency causes platelet refractoriness, post-transfusion thrombocytopenic purpura, neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, and other disorders (Hirano et al., 2003, Neculai et al., 2013, Rac et al., 2007). However, deficiency of CD36 has no effect on development of erythroblasts (Toba et al., 2001).…”

“…The functions of CD36 include removal of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and fatty acid from plasma by macrophages and monocytes (Park et al 2009; Rać et al 2007), induction of apoptosis (Silverstein 2009), and enhancement of cytoadherence of abnormally shaped erythrocytes (Chilongola et al 2009). …”
