Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to CD14

Coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide.In concert with LBP, binds to monomeric lipopolysaccharide and delivers it to the LY96/TLR4 complex, thereby mediating the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF~kappa~B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response . Acts as a coreceptor for TLR2:TLR6 heterodimer in response to diacylated lipopeptides and for TLR2:TLR1 heterodimer in response to triacylated lipopeptides, these clusters trigger signaling from the cell surface and subsequently are targeted to the Golgi in a lipid~raft dependent pathway .Binds electronegative LDL (LDL~) and mediates the cytokine release induced by LDL~ .
