[HTML][HTML] CD36 is palmitoylated on both N-and C-terminal cytoplasmic tails
N Tao, SJ Wagner, DM Lublin - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 - ASBMB
The membrane protein CD36 has been reported to carry out a wide range of potential
functions, including serving as a receptor for thrombospondin, collagen, oxidized low density
lipoprotein, fatty acids, anionic phospholipids, and Plasmodium falciparum malaria
parasitized erythrocytes. This implicates CD36 in cellular adhesion, human atherosclerotic
lesion formation, lipid metabolism, and malaria. A presumed rat homolog of CD36 was
previously reported to be palmitoylated. We confirmed that human CD36 is palmitoylated …
