Background

CD68 is a 110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein widely expressed in monocyte cell types, such as macrophages, microglia, and osteoclasts. It is located at the lysosome and plasma membrane and is essential in various physiological and pathological processes, including atherosclerosis formation, inflammation and auto-immunity, bone-resorbing promotion, and tumor progression. It participates in the cellular response to lipopolysaccharide/oxidized low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus and negative regulation of dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation.
