Lymphocyte antigen 96 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LY96 gene.[1][2][3]

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in binding lipopolysaccharide with TLR 4. It is also known as "MD2".

The MD-2 protein appears to associate with toll-like receptor 4 on the cell surface and confers responsiveness to lipopolysaccaride (LPS), thus providing a link between the receptor and LPS signaling.[3]
