MD2, a 160-residue accessory glycoprotein, is responsible for the recognition and binding of Gram-negative bacterial membrane component, lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Internalization of pathogen inside the mononuclear phagocytes has also been attributed to MD2 which leads to the clearance of pathogens from the host. MD2 LY96 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with C-His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 18.07 kDa and the accession number is Q9Y6Y9-1.

LY96 (Lymphocyte Antigen 96, also known as ESOP-1) is a Protein Coding gene. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. This gene encodes a protein that associates with toll-like receptor 4 on the cell surface and confers responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), thus providing a link between the receptor and LPS signaling. LY-96 also cooperates with TLR2 in the response to cell wall components from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It enhances the TLR4-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B. ESOP-1 has 16 amino acids, the sequence of which shows 64% identity with human ESOP-1 MD-2. ESOP-1 mRNA is highly expressed in the mouse embryos at 7.5 days after coitus. Diseases associated with LY96 include Melioidosis and Intestinal Botulism.
