Marco - macrophage receptor with collagenous structure

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic cell clearance and endocytosis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human MARCO (macrophage receptor with collagenous structure). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
