Lipid A
Sujet
Lipid A is part of a Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin located at one end of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule. Lipid A is made up of two glucosamine units with attached acyl chains, and it usually contains one phosphate group on each carbohydrate. Lipid A functions to anchor the LPS to the outer membrane of a Gram-negative bacteria. The toxicity of Gram-negative bacteria is due to Lipid A since this is what the human immune system recognizes, though this recognition is also critical for the onset of immune responses to Gram-negative infection and for the subsequent successful fight against the infection. Lipid A may play a role in to activating cells via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), MD-2, and CD14 on the cell surface. When present in the body at high concentrations during a Gram-negative bacterial infection, Lipid A can cause shock and death because it is such a potent immune system activator.
