Function: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. ,online information:CD14 entry ,similarity:Contains 11 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. ,subunit:Belongs to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor , a multi-protein complex containing at least CD14 , MD-2 and TLR4. ,tissue specificity:Expressed strongly on the surface of monocytes and weakly on the surface of granulocytes; also expressed by most tissue macrophages. ,
