Facts about Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130.
Binds hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes at a calcium-dependent and pH-dependent method. Exhibits a greater affinity for complexes of hemoglobin and multimeric haptoglobin of HP*1F phenotype than for complexes of hemoglobin and dimeric haptoglobin of HP*1S phenotype.

Expressed in monocytes and mature macrophages such as Kupffer cells in the liver, red pulp macrophages in the spleen, cortical macrophages in the thymus, resident bone marrow macrophages and meningeal macrophages of the central nervous system. Expressed also in blood. Isoform 1 is the lowest abundant in the blood. Isoform 2 is the lowest abundant in the liver and the spleen. Isoform 3 is the predominant isoform detected in the blood.
[Soluble CD163]: Secreted.; Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 show a lower surface expression when expressed in cells.
