This antibody reacts with the CD36-antigen, a transmembrane, highly glycosylated, glycoprotein expressed by monocytes, macrophages, platelets, microvascular endothelial cells, early erythroid cells and megakaryocytes and adipose tissues. Platelet glycoprotein IV (GP IV)(GPIIIb) (CD36 antigen) is also called GPIV, OKM5-antigen or PASIV. CD36 recognises oxidized low density lipoprotein, long chain fatty acids, anionic phospholipids, collagen types I, IV and V, thrombospondin (TSP) and Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes. Binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport.(1
