- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study which identifies amino-acid residues of cell-surface protein CD36 after interaction with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in mouse model. The study showed the presence of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino-acid residues 149-168 after conducting oxLDL specific binding analysis of several synthetic CD36 peptides. It mentioned that hydrophobic residues, Phe153, Leu158, and Leu161, played a critical role in specific binding interaction.
