Popis: CD36 is a multifunctional membrane-type receptor glycoprotein that reacts with oxidized low-density lipoprotein and long-chain fatty acid (LCFA). A patient presented with hereditary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and type I CD36 deficiency (neither platelets nor monocytes expressed CD36) but showed no myocardial LCFA accumulation. CD36 was expressed in the capillary endothelial cells of the cardiac muscle of a control subject, while the patient's myocardial capillary endothelial cells were completely CD36-negative. These results suggest that type I CD36 deficiency is closely related to hereditary HCM and lack of myocardial LCFA accumulation. (Jpn Circ J 1998; 62: 541 - 542)
