In silico analyses of CD14 molecule reveal significant evolutionary diversity, potentially associated with speciation and variable immune response in mammals

The cluster differentiation gene (CD14) is a family of monocyte differentiating genes that works in conjunction with lipopolysaccharide binding protein, forming a complex with TLR4 or LY96 to mediate innate immune response to pathogens. In this paper, we used different computational methods to eluci...
