Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the LBP is_associated_with::gene.

LBP is a soluble is_associated_with::acute-phase protein that binds to bacterial is_associated_with::lipopolysaccharide (or LPS) to elicit immune responses by presenting the LPS to important cell surface is_associated_with::pattern recognition receptors called is_associated_with::CD14 and TLR4.

Interactions
Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::CD14, is_associated_with::TLR2, is_associated_with::TLR4 and the co-receptor MD-2.
