SCD14 Antibody

CD14 is a cell surface-anchored glycoprotein that is expressed predominantly by monocytes and tissue macrophages. CD14 associates with MD-2 (LY-96) and TLR4 to form a receptor complex, which signals specifically in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding. The CD14/MD-2/TLR4 receptor complex signals via MyD88, TIRAP, and TRAF6, and ultimately activates NF-κB. CD14 also exists in a soluble form, designated as sCD14, which is capable of specifically binding LPS in the extracellular space. Recombinant Human sCD14 is a 331 amino acid glycoprotein comprising the extracellular portion of the CD14 receptor. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human sCD14 is 35.6 kDa.

Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human sCD14. Anti-Human sCD14-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Human sCD14 matrix.

Antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8˚ C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
