Stabilin-1 (STAB1)

Acts as a scavenger receptor for acetylated low density lipoprotein. Binds to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and might play a role in defense against bacterial infection.

When inhibited in endothelial tube formation assays, there's a marked decrease in cell-cell interactions, suggesting a role in angiogenesis. Involved in the delivery of newly synthesized CHID1/SI-CLP in the biosynthetic compartment into the endosomal/lysosomal system.
