an acute phase reactant that may modulate the biochemical & biological properties of lipopolysaccharides in vivo; binds to the lipid a moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a glycolipid present in the outer membrane of all Gram-negative bacteria; The LBP/LPS complex may be involved in immune response by interacting with the CD14 receptor; amino acid sequence has been determined; RefSeq NM_004139 (human), NM_008489 (mouse), NM_017208 (rat)
