MD2, Cynomolgus (His)

MD2 protein binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and collaborates with TLR4 in the innate immune response to LPS. It also interacts with TLR2 in the response to cell wall components from bacteria. MD2 enhances TLR4-dependent NF-kappa-B activation and forms a heterogeneous homomer, participating in a multi-protein complex with CD14 and TLR4. Ligand binding induces complex oligomerization, crucial for the cellular response to LPS. MD2 Protein, Cynomolgus (His) is the recombinant cynomolgus-derived MD2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of MD2 Protein, Cynomolgus (His) is 142 a.a., with molecular weight of 17.97 kDa.
