Cd14 - CD14 molecule

Predicted to enable lipopeptide binding activity; lipopolysaccharide binding activity; and lipoteichoic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; response to magnesium ion; and response to tumor necrosis factor. Located in cell surface; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Used to study perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis. Biomarker of Hirschsprung's disease; cholestasis; obstructive jaundice; and periodontitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; artery disease (multiple); celiac disease; cystic fibrosis; and pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human CD14 (CD14 molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
