Platelet glycoprotein IV, also known as CD36 is an integral membrane glycoprotein which has multiple physiological functions. CD36 is broadly expressed on a wide array of cell types. CD36 is part of the scavenger receptor family and acts as a multiligand pattern recognition receptor which interacts with a large number of structurally dissimilar ligands. Furthermore, CD36 participates in lipid metabolism and has been known as a fatty acid translocase which is required for the binding as well as transport of LCFA in cells & tissues. CD36 also takes a major part in the initiation as well as pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and atherosclerosis. CD36 is an integral membrane protein which mainly functions as a receptor for thrombospondin & collagen. CD36 directly mediates the cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes.

CD36 produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 419 amino acids (30-439a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 47.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 57-70kDa).
CD36 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
