The class A scavenger receptors are important in many aspects of macrophage biology. The
receptor MARCO is a relatively recently described member of this class. The biological role
of MARCO is under active investigation, and shows interesting similarities and contrasts to
that of the class prototype, SR-AI/II. This review surveys current knowledge and unanswered
questions regarding the structure and function of the MARCO receptor.
