Among the various PtdSer phagocytic receptors, the role of CD300F in parasitic diseases has also been investigated, although to the best of our knowledge, only in a transgenic mouse model resistant to the development of cerebral malaria upon infection with P. berghei ANKA. CD300F belongs to a family of type I transmembrane proteins which binds PtdSer, thus enhancing the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells [86]. The gene discussed is CD300LF; the disease is cerebral malaria.
