Human CD14 is a crucial molecule in the innate immune system. It is also known as Cluster of Differentiation 14 or sCD14 (soluble CD14). This glycoprotein is primarily expressed on the surface of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
Role in Immunity: CD14 acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that binds to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria and lipoteichoic acids from Gram-positive bacteria. This binding triggers a cascade of immune responses, including the activation of signaling pathways that lead to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Clinical Significance: Elevated levels of sCD14 in the blood are associated with various inflammatory conditions, such as sepsis, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders. It is also a biomarker for monitoring the progression of certain diseases and the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
Research Applications: In research, CD14 is widely studied for its role in immune cell activation, inflammation, and host-pathogen interactions. It is a key target for developing new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies to combat infectious and inflammatory diseases.
