The mouse monoclonal antibody clone 15C4 binds to the human lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1), also known as CLEC8A. LOX-1 is a 31 kDa single-pass type II transmembrane protein and a member of the C-type lectin superfamily. It is a scavenger receptor that is involved in endocytosis, phagocytosis, and cytokine production. LOX-1 is expressed by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, platelets, fibroblasts, and macrophages, and is upregulated by inflammatory and oxidative stimuli. LOX-1 recognizes numerous ligands, including lipoproteins, apoptotic cells, heat shock proteins, C-reactive protein, and oxidized LDL.
