LBP
(Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein (LBP))
Alternative Name
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Binding Protein (LBP) (LBP Products)
LPS binding protein (LBP) is an approximately 60 kDa acute phase protein that is
produced by hepatocytes. This protein strongly binds to LPS and has been shown
to play an important role in the handling of LPS by the host. A number of functions
of LBP have been reported. First, LBP transfers LPS to the LPS receptor CD14 on
mononuclear phagocytes, leading to a 100-1,000-fold increased sensitivity of the
cells to LPS. Furthermore, LBP can enhance the response of CD14 negative cells
by acceleration of LPS binding to soluble CD14, a complex that stimulates these
cells. Next, LBP transfers LPS into High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), which
effectively neutralizes its biological potency. LBP was demonstrated to protect
mice from septic shock caused by LPS or gram negative bacteria
