QuicKey Pro Rat LBP (Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein) ELISA Kit

LPS-binding protein (LBP) is a protein that binds to the lipid A moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS),which is a glycolipid present in the outer membrane of all Gram-negative bacteria. It is involved in the immunological response to infections of Gram-negative bacteria,together with bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI). LBP also interacts with the CD14 receptor and enhances its association with LPS. LBP is associated with diseases including bacterial sepsis,and is related to cytokine release in response to bacteria in immune system.Gene AliasLbpGene ID29469Uniport IDQ63313Protein AliasLbpResearch AreaCell Biology,Immunology,Neuroscience Protein function: Plays a role in the innate immune response. Binds to the lipid A moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a glycolipid present in the outer membrane of all Gram-negative bacteria. Acts as an affinity enhancer for CD14, facilitating its association with LPS. Promotes the release of cytokines in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide. [The UniProt Consortium]
