General description

CD163, also known as scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130, is an acute phase-regulated and signal-inducing transmembrane protein found exclusively on cells of monocytic origin. CD163 plays a critical role in macrophage clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes. Therefore, CD163 contributes to the anti-inflammatory response and protects tissues from oxidative and inflammatory hemoglobin. Anti-CD163labels cells of monocytic-macrophage lineage, with expression in the bone marrow and histiocytic neoplasms.
