Function
Coreceptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide. 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). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor); Secreted; Membrane raft; Golgi apparatus
Tissue Specificity: Detected on macrophages (at protein level). Expressed strongly on the surface of monocytes and weakly on the surface of granulocytes; also expressed by most tissue macrophages
