The gene SCARA5 (scavenger receptor class A member 5) is mapped to human chromosome 8p21. It belongs to the SCARA family of proteins.
Immunogen
SCARA5 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human SCARA5.
Biochem/physiol Actions
SCARA5 (scavenger receptor class A member 5) is a tumor suppressor. It plays an important role in growth regulation. It interacts with serum ferritin and helps it in crossing the blood-retinal barrier. Changes in the expression of SCARA5 are linked with retinopathy. It might also be involved in the suppression of inflammatory fibrotic responses.

Target description
Scavenger receptor class A member 5 (SCARA5), also known as TESR, is part of the scavenger receptor superfamily, which is composed of many members with diverse structures, expression patterns, and functions. SCARA5 is a cell-surface receptor that contains that collagen-like domain and N-terminal scavenger receptor cysteine rich domain typical of the class A scavenger receptor subfamily. Unlike other class A receptors, SCARA5 does not endocytose acetylated or oxidized low density lipoprotein. Instead, SCARA5 binds serum ferritin and mediates its endocytosis from the cell surface, indicating SCARA5 may play a role in non-transferrin iron delivery. At least four isoforms of SCARB1 are known to exist.

Approximately 30% of autogenous vein grafts develop luminal narrowing and fail because of intimal hyperplasia or negative remodeling. We previously found that vein graft cells from patients who later develop stenosis proliferate more in vitro in response to growth factors than
Iron is essential in the retina because the heme-containing enzyme guanylate cyclase modulates phototransduction in rods and cones. Transferrin endocytosis is the classical pathway for obtaining iron from the blood circulation in the retina. However, the iron storage protein ferritin
