OLR1, also known as oxidized low density lipoprotein(Ox-LDL) receptor 1, is a type II membrane protein that is a member of the C-type lectin family and acts as a cell-surface receptor for Ox-LDL. Ox-LDL plays a role in early ather-osclerosis, which includes the transformation of monocyte-derived macro-phages to foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions. This protein may also trigger the activation of the NFkappaB signal transduction pathway. Alternative Names: OLR1, LOX1 protein, OLR-1, OLR 1 protein, OLR 1, Oxidized low density lipoprotein(lectin-like)receptor 1 protein, OLR-1 protein, SCARE1 protein, CLEC8A protein
