CD36 Antibody recognizes CD36, a multifunctional membrane glycoprotein also known as Fatty Acid Translocase, that mediates the uptake of long chain fatty acids and serves as a receptor for numerous endogenous and exogenous ligands. CD36 belongs to the class B scavenger receptor family and binds oxidized low density lipoproteins, phospholipids, thrombospondin, apoptotic cells, and microbial components. Through these interactions, CD36 contributes to lipid metabolism, inflammation, angiogenesis, immune responses, and cellular energy homeostasis. Its broad ligand specificity allows CD36 to function as both a transporter and signaling receptor in diverse physiological processes.
CD36 is widely expressed in adipocytes, skeletal muscle, cardiomyocytes, macrophages, platelets, endothelial cells, and epithelial tissues. In the intestine and heart, CD36 facilitates fatty acid uptake and utilization, while in macrophages it mediates recognition and internalization of oxidized lipoproteins and apoptotic debris. Through interactions with thrombospondin and inflammatory mediators, CD36 influences angiogenesis, wound healing, and innate immunity. CD36 signaling is integrated with pathways involving peroxisome proliferator activated receptors, toll like receptors, and metabolic regulators that coordinate nutrient sensing and cellular responses to stress.
Abnormal CD36 expression and activity have been implicated in obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, atherosclerosis, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disorders. Increased CD36 mediated fatty acid uptake contributes to lipid accumulation and metabolic dysfunction, whereas macrophage expression of CD36 promotes foam cell formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques. In oncology, elevated CD36 expression has been associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. Enhanced fatty acid metabolism driven by CD36 has been reported in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, and several other malignancies, making CD36 an emerging target in cancer metabolism research.
In addition to its metabolic functions, CD36 participates in platelet activation, inflammatory signaling, and immune regulation. The receptor has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders, ischemic injury, and chronic inflammatory diseases. Because CD36 connects lipid metabolism with cellular signaling pathways, it has become an important biomarker and therapeutic target across multiple fields of research. Its ability to regulate nutrient utilization and inflammatory responses highlights its importance in maintaining tissue homeostasis and adapting to metabolic stress.
CD36 Antibody is useful for studies of lipid metabolism, cardiovascular biology, inflammation, immune responses, and cancer progression. Clone CD36/7217 has been validated for western blotting and immunohistochemistry, detecting endogenous CD36 expression in heart tissue and spleen. The ability to detect this multifunctional Fatty Acid Translocase makes CD36 Antibody a valuable tool for investigations of nutrient transport, scavenger receptor biology, and disease mechanisms.
