[myeloid differentiation factor 2] This protein has been identified by Shimazu et al (1999). The approved gene symbol for this protein is Ly96 [lymphocyte antigen 96 homolog].
Expression of MD-2 enhances TLR4 dependent activation of NF-kappa-B. MD-2 binds with high affinity to the extracellular domain of the TLR4 receptor and is required for maximal responsiveness of the receptor to bacterial lipopolysaccharides. MD-2 has been shown to complex with TLR2 / CD14 and TLR4 /CD14 and appears to discriminate between pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and
