Scavenger receptor CD163 multimerises to allow uptake of diverse ligands

Abstract CD163 is an archetypal scavenger receptor and mediates detoxification of free haemoglobin. Release of haemoglobin from lysed erythrocytes causes oxidative tissue and organ damage. Detoxification involves haemoglobin binding to the abundant serum protein haptoglobin, followed by CD163-mediat...
