CD14 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc)

The CD14 protein acts as a coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), forming a complex with LY96 and TLR4. It binds monomeric LPS to LBP, delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex and initiates an immune response. CD14 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived CD14 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of CD14 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is 341 a.a., with molecular weight of ~72 kDa.

CD14 Protein functions as a coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), forming a multi-protein complex with LY96 and TLR4. Collaborating with LBP, it binds monomeric LPS and delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex, initiating the innate immune response. CD14's involvement extends to TLR2:TLR6 and TLR2:TLR1 heterodimers, responding to diacylated and triacylated lipopeptides, respectively. Through interactions with MyD88, TIRAP, and TRAF6, CD14 activates NF-kappa-B, leading to cytokine secretion and inflammation. Additionally, it participates in LDL(-)-induced cytokine release and interacts with LPAR1, MYO18A, and FSTL1, highlighting its diverse roles in immune and signaling pathways.
