Background:

CD14 is a leucine-rich repeat-containing pattern recognition receptor with expression largely restricted to the monocyte/macrophage cell lineage. Research studies have shown that CD14 is a bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding glycoprotein, expressed as either a GPI-linked membrane protein or a soluble plasma protein. LPS induces an upregulation of GPI-linked CD14 expression, which facilitates TLR4 signaling and macrophage activation in response to bacterial infection.

Specificity:

Recognizes endogenous levels of CD14 protein.

Alternative names:

Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14; Myeloid cell-specific leucine-rich glycoprotein; CD14
