Cluster of differentiation 14 also known as CD14 is a human gene.^[1]^[2]

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the innate immune system. CD14 exists in two forms. It is either anchored into the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol tail (mCD14) or it appears in a soluble form (sCD14). Soluble CD14 appears either after shedding of mCD14 (48 KDa) or is directly secreted from intracellular vesicles (56 KDa).^[3]

CD14 takes its name from its inclusion in the cluster of differentiation group of cell surface marker proteins.

CD14 was the first described pattern recognition receptor.

[edit] Function

CD14 acts as a co-receptor (along with the Toll-like receptor TLR 4 and MD-2) for the detection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).^[4]^[5] CD14 can only bind LPS in the presence of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP). Although LPS is considered its main ligand CD14 also recognizes other pathogen associated molecular patterns.

[edit] Tissue distribution

CD14 is expressed mainly by macrophages and (at 10 times lesser extent) by neutrophil granulocytes. It is also expressed by dendritic cells. A soluble form sCD14 is secreted by the liver and monocytes and is sufficient in low concentrations to confer LPS-responsiveness to cells which otherwise do not express CD14. sCD14 is also present in human milk where it is believed to regulate microbial growth in the infant gut.

[edit] Differentiation

CD14+ cells are monocytes that can differentiate into a host of different cells. (A '+' sign refers to the presence of the CD14 protein on a cell. )

One type of cell is the dendritic cell, where differentiation is encouraged by cytokines. Examples of cytokines that will cause dendritic cell differentiation includes GM-CSF and IL-4.

[edit] Interactions

CD14 has been shown to interact with Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein.^[6]^[7]
