Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for SCARB2(NM_005506.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Studies of the similar protein in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Deficiency of the similar protein in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy.
Gene References into function
- Functional analysis of the mouse homolog
- Several putative signalling motifs identified in the C-terminus of human SR-BII, which are absent from SR-BI, interact with signalling molecules to mobilize stored cholesteryl esters and/or promote the efflux of intracellular free cholesterol.
- High density lipoprotein endocytosis by scavenger receptor SR-BII is clathrin-dependent and requires a carboxyl-terminal dileucine motif.
- Residues favoring AP3 binding introduced into a protein that is transported via the PM such as the invariant chain can re-route such protein into direct sorting to late endosomal/lysosomal structures.
- Scavenger receptors SR-BI and SR-BII localized mainly to the ganglion cell layer and photoreceptor outer segments; in the latter they appear to be associated with microtubules.
- HCV soluble E2 can interact with human SR-BI and SR-BII
- Regulation of alternative splicing of liver scavenger receptor class B gene by estrogen.
- SCARB2/Limp2 has pleiotropic effects that may be relevant to understanding the pathogenesis of other forms of glomerulosclerosis or collapse and myoclonic epilepsies.
