Cat#:	LPS-02AF
Description/Features:	Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or endotoxins are complex macromolecules present on the outer cell walls of gram negative bacteria. The structural core of LPS, and the primary determinant of its biological activity, is the N-acetylglucosamine derivative, lipid A. Endotoxins are responsible for various signal transduction pathways including those involving protein kinase C and protein myristylation as well as for stimulating a variety of immunochemical responses including B lymphocyte and G-protein activation.
