Overview of Gene Research
Cd36, also known as the scavenger receptor B2, is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein. It plays a crucial role in the uptake of long-chain fatty acids, which are the main metabolic substrate in myocardial tissue. Cd36 is also involved in lipid sensing, transport, and regulation of lipid metabolism. It mediates various cellular functions such as immunological recognition, inflammation, molecular adhesion, and apoptosis. Post-translational modifications like phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, and palmitoylation regulate its maturation and transportation [1,2,6].
In knockout (KO) models, Cd36 deficiency alleviates diabetic cardiomyopathy and atherosclerosis, suggesting its key role in the progression of these cardiovascular diseases [1]. In the context of cancer, while Cd36 has been reported to both promote and inhibit cancer progression, its role in lipid uptake and immune response modulation in tumor-associated cells is significant [2,3,5]. In chronic kidney disease, antagonist blockade or genetic knockout of Cd36 in experimental models prevents kidney injury, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target [4].
In conclusion, Cd36 is a vital regulator of lipid metabolism and cellular functions. KO mouse models have been instrumental in revealing its role in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and chronic kidney disease. These findings suggest that Cd36 could be a potential therapeutic target for treating these diseases [1,2,3,4,5].
