NCIt definition : Macrosialin (354 aa, 37 kDa) is encoded by the human CD68 gene. This protein may
be involved in both pathogen phagocytosis and macrophage targeting.;
NCIt note : Macrosialin is produced as two isoforms the long form (37 kDa) is found in lysosomal
and endosomal membranes while the shorter form (31 kDa) is localized to the plasma
membrane.;
