Background
CD14 is a leucine-rich repeat-containing pattern recognition receptor with expression largely restricted to the monocyte/macrophage cell lineage (1). 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 (2). LPS induces an upregulation of GPI-linked CD14 expression, which facilitates TLR4 signaling and macrophage activation in response to bacterial infection (3-5).
Alternate Names
CD14; CD14 antigen; CD14 molecule; Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14; Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14, membrane-bound form; Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14, urinary form; Myeloid cell-specific leucine-rich glycoprotein
