CD68, also called Scavenger Receptor D1 (SR-D1), is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein. Macrosialin is the murine homolog of the human macrophage glycoprotein CD68, both are members of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP) family which are located predominantly within the cells and can be detected by flow cytometry using cell permeablization. CD68 is a 110kD transmembrane (Type I) glycoprotein consisting of a polypeptide of 37408D (354 amino acids) predicted from the cDNA sequence that is highly expressed by human monocytes and tissue macrophages. CD68 plays a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes, lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin bearing substrates or other cells.
