Background
CD68 (macrosialin) is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein that is expressed by and commonly used as a marker for monocytes and macrophages (1,2). It is found on the plasma membrane, as well as endosomal and lysosomal membranes (1-3). It is proposed to bind OxLDL and has been observed as a homodimer (3,4).
Alternate Names
CD68; CD68 antigen; CD68 molecule; DKFZp686M18236; Gp110; LAMP4; macrophage antigen CD68; Macrosialin; SCARD1; scavenger receptor class D, member 1
