1 PURPOSE: We determined whether LPS-induced TLR4 assembly and activation are dependent on the sphingolipid metabolite ceramide, produced by acid sphingomyelinase following the initial binding of LPS to CD14. Ceramides toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSION: Assembly and activation of the TLR4 receptor following LPS binding to CD14 requires the production of ceramide by acid sphingomyelinase. Ceramides toll like receptor 4 Homo sapiens
