-   CD68 is widely expressed on mononuclear phagocytes. [PMID: 15771589]. It's expression appeared to correlate with macrophage activation. [PMID: 12676954, PMID: 12393475, PMID: 21572087] The highly glycosylated mucin-like domain is involved in ligand binding. CD68 has been shown to bind oxLDL, phosphatidylserine, apoptotic cells and serve as a receptor for malaria sporozoite in liver infection. [PMID: 27869795] CD68 is a member of the scavenger receptor family. [PMID: 24563502]
