CD14 is present in macrophage, monocyte, and granulocyte cells and their cell membranes, and it is said to be responsible for intracellular transduction of endotoxin signals. Its soluble fraction is present in blood and is thought to be produced in association with infections. It is called the soluble CD14-subtype (sCD14-ST), and in the following text it is referred to by its generic name, presepsin.
