MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a macrophage scavenger receptor-like protein. This protein has been shown to deplete reactive oxygen species, and thus play an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. The expression of this gene is induced by oxidative stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a G to T transversion at position 1460 of the Scara3 transcript in exon 5 of 6 total exons. The mutated nucleotide causes a methionine to isoleucine substitution at amino acid 406 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
Protein Function and Prediction
The Scara3 gene encodes a 606 amino acid protein known as the scavenger receptor class A member 3 (SCARA3). SCARA3 is a single-pass type II membrane protein present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi, and seems to protect cells by scavenging oxidative molecules or harmful products of oxidation. SCARA3 contains two collagen-like domains at amino acids 456-558 and 559-601, a transmembrane domain at amino acids 57-77, and is heavily glycosylated (Uniprot Q8C850). 
 
The M406I change occurs in the extracellular domain of the protein and is predicted to be possibly damaging by the PolyPhen program.
