Anti-Human CD14 Monoclonal Antibody, Flow Validated

Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 ; Myeloid cell-specific leucine-rich glycoprotein; CD14; Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14, urinary form; Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14, membrane-bound form; CD14

Detected on macrophages (at protein level) (PubMed:1698311) . Expressed strongly on the surface of monocytes and weakly on the surface of granulocytes; also expressed by most tissue macrophages.

Coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (PubMed:1698311, PubMed:23264655) . 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) (PubMed:20133493, PubMed:23264655) . Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:8612135) . 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 (PubMed:16880211) . Binds electronegative LDL (LDL (-) ) and mediates the cytokine release induced by LDL (-) (PubMed:23880187) . .
