- Background
- CD14 is a single-copy gene encoding 2 protein forms: a 50- to 55-kD glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein (mCD14) and a monocyte or liver-derived soluble serum protein (sCD14) that lacks the anchor. This gene is located at bands 5q23-q31. The protein encoded by this gene is a surface antigen that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. CD14 acts as a co-receptor (along with the Toll-like receptor TLR 4 and MD-2) for the detection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . CD14 can bind LPS only in the presence of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) . Although LPS is considered its main ligand, CD14 also recognizes other pathogen-associated molecular patterns.

- Function
- 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) . .
