Biological function summary
LBP serves a significant role in enhancing the sensitivity of the immune system to bacterial endotoxins. It does not form a permanent part of a larger complex but works closely with other molecules like CD14 and MD-2 an accessory protein of the TLR4 receptor to mediate the innate immune response. By efficiently binding LPS LBP aids in transporting these molecules to cell surface receptors accelerating the detection and subsequent response to infections.
Pathways
LBP is heavily involved in the TLR4 signaling pathway which is important for the detection and response to Gram-negative bacterial infections. Through this pathway LBP and associated proteins such as CD14 and MD-2 help activate TLR4 triggering downstream NF-κB signaling. This activation leads to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and an upsurge in antimicrobial activities fortifying the body's defenses against bacterial invasion.

General info
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 (PubMed : 24120359, PubMed : 7517398). Acts as an affinity enhancer for CD14, facilitating its association with LPS. Promotes the release of cytokines in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (PubMed : 24120359, PubMed : 7517398).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family.
