<i>In silico</i> analyses of CD14 molecule reveals significant evolutionary diversity potentially associated with speciation and variable immune response in mammals
2019-05-17
Abstract excerpt
Cluster differentiation gene (CD14) is a family of monocyte differentiating genes that works in conjunction with lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), forming a complex with TLR4 or LY96 to mediate innate immune response to pathogens. In this paper, we used different computational methods to elucidate the evolution of CD14 gene coding region in 14 mammalian species. Our analyses identified leucine rich repeats...
