Summary
[Homo sapiens] LY96 (MD-2) recognizes only exogenous pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) when complexed with TLR2-CD14 or TLR4-CD14.
[Homo sapiens] LY86 and CD180 interact directly with the TLR4 signalling complex, inhibiting its ability to bind microbial ligand.
[Homo sapiens] LY96 is physically associated with TLR4 on the cell surface and confers responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
[Homo sapiens] TLR4::LY96 functions as intracellular LPS sensor and triggers a unique set of LPS responses upon recognition of phagocytosed bacteria in macrophages. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] Amino acid Phe126 of LY96 acts as a hydrophobic switch driving agonist-dependent contacts necessary for TLR4 dimerization and activation.
[Homo sapiens] Morphine binds to LY96, triggering TLR4 oligomerization and induces neuroinflammation within the central nervous system.
[Mus musculus] Tlr4::Ly96 functions as intracellular LPS sensor and triggers a unique set of LPS responses upon recognition of phagocytosed bacteria in macrophages.
[Mus musculus] Amino acid Phe126 of Ly96 acts as a hydrophobic switch driving agonist-dependent contacts necessary for Tlr4 dimerization and activation. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Morphine binds to Ly96, triggering Tlr4 oligomerization and induces neuroinflammation within the central nervous system. (Demonstrated in human)
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000154589:
This gene encodes a protein which associates with toll-like receptor 4 on the cell surface and confers responsiveness to lipopolysaccyaride (LPS), thus providing a link between the receptor and LPS signaling. Studies of the mouse ortholog suggest that this gene may be involved in endotoxin neutralization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
