NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the innate immune response and is expressed in monocyte/macrophage cells. This gene product acts as a co-receptor that binds several microbial and fungal molecules, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This proteins LPS-binding activity is enhanced by the LPS binding protein (LBP) to allow binding to the TLR4-MD-2 co-receptor complex. The product of this gene is found in two forms, either as a soluble protein or attached to the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Uniprot Description
CD14: Cooperates with MD-2 and TLR4 to mediate 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. Up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules.
Protein type: Membrane protein, GPI anchor
Cellular Component: anchored to external side of plasma membrane; cell surface; external side of plasma membrane; extracellular space; Golgi apparatus; lipid raft; lipopolysaccharide receptor complex; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: lipopolysaccharide binding
Biological Process: inflammatory response; lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of cytokine secretion; positive regulation of endocytosis; positive regulation of interferon type I production; positive regulation of interferon-gamma production; positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; receptor-mediated endocytosis; response to bacterium; response to molecule of bacterial origin; toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway

Product Notes
The Mouse Cd14 cd14 (Catalog #AAA3807351) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA3807351 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Cd14. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Soluble CD14, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
