Scavenger receptors: diverse activities and promiscuous binding of polyanionic ligands.
Scavenger receptors are a diverse family of proteins that share a common property--the binding of modified lipoprotein--but they have recently been shown to recognise a diverse range of ligands. Understanding the molecular interaction of receptor-ligand binding should provide insight into how scavenger receptors contribute to important biological processes.
