BioPAX pathway converted from "Association of LBP with LPS" in the Reactome database.Association of LBP with LPSAssociation of LBP with LPSLipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is a ~60-kDa serum glycoprotein which transfers LPS to both membrane-bound and soluble CD14. The LPS binding site of LBP consists of basic residues that bind the phosphorylated head of the bacterial lipid A. <p>LBP is an acute-phase opsonin that binds gram-negative bacteria and bacterial fragments and promote the interaction of coated bacteria with phagocytes.

Binds to the lipid A moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a glycolipid present in the outer membrane of all Gram-negative bacteria (PubMed:7517398, PubMed:24120359). Acts as an affinity enhancer for CD14, facilitating its association with LPS. Promotes the release of cytokines in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (PubMed:7517398, PubMed:24120359).SUBUNIT When bound to LPS, interacts (via C-terminus) with soluble and membrane-bound CD14.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Detected in blood serum (at protein level).SIMILARITY Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily.

Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa.SUBUNIT Monomer. Homodimer; disulfide-linked.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Restricted to cells of the myeloid series.DOMAIN The N-terminal region may be exposed to the interior of the granule, whereas the C-terminal portion may be embedded in the membrane. During phagocytosis and degranulation, proteases may be released and activated and cleave BPI at the junction of the N- and C-terminal portions of the molecule, providing controlled release of the N-terminal antibacterial fragment when bacteria are ingested.DOMAIN The N- and C-terminal barrels adopt an identical fold despite having only 13% of conserved residues.SIMILARITY Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily.
