Scavenger receptor class B type I (SCARB1), also known as CD36L1, is a member of the scavenger receptor family. It is an integral membrane protein and function as HDL receptor expressed primarily in liver and nonplacental steroidogenic tissues, and mediates selective cholesterol uptake by a mechanism distinct from the classic LDL receptor pathway. Its primary function is facilitating reverse cholesterol transport by transferring cholesterol esters of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) into the liver. This function serves to lower the risk of development of atherosclerosis. SCARB1 is also able to bind to other lipoproteins such as LDL, OxLDL, and VLDL. SCARB1 is also likely to be involved in pathogen recognition through its recognition of mycobacteria and other viral proteins and regulates vitamin E levels in the tissue.
