Hi to you all!

The receptor for thrombospondin is CD36 which is expressed on platelets, 
epithelial cells, macrophages etc. But my question is...in which cells is 
thrombospondin expressed? I have read that it is uppregulated in 
apoptotic cells, but I would like to know if there is a cell type that 
has it constantly on its surface. Has somebody chechked the expression of 
this protein, or do I have to do it by my self...

Thanks in advance!
