DESCRIPTION

Also known as LY96_MOUSE, Ly96, Esop1, Md2. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (PubMed:22532668). Cooperates with TLR4 in the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and with TLR2 in the response to cell wall components from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Enhances TLR4-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B. Cells expressing both LY96 and TLR4, but not TLR4 alone, respond to LPS (PubMed:10725698). Heterogeneous homomer formed from homodimers; disulfide-linked (By similarity). Belongs to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor, a multi-protein complex containing at least CD14, LY96 and TLR4 (PubMed:10725698, PubMed:20133493, PubMed:24380872). Binds to the extracellular domain of TLR4 (PubMed:10725698, PubMed:20133493, PubMed:24380872, PubMed:17803912, PubMed:22532668). Binds to the extracellular domain of TLR2 (By similarity). Ligand binding induces interaction with TLR4 and oligomerization of the complex (PubMed:20133493, PubMed:24380872, PubMed:22532668).
