Scavenger receptors are found on macrophages and other cells, binding ligands like bacterial cell-wall components to clear them from the blood, with Kupffer cells in the liver being especially rich in them.
Receptors on macrophages and other cells that bind to numerous ligands, such as bacterial cell-wall components, and remove them from the blood. The Kupffer cells in the liver are particularly rich in these receptors. Includes SR-A I, SR-A II, and MARCO
