Scarb2 - scavenger receptor class B, member 2

This gene encodes a CD36-like type III transmembrane glycoprotein that localizes to the lysosomal membrane. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit an increased postnatal mortality caused by an obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction, deafness, peripheral demyelinating neuropathy and tubular proteinuria.
