General annotation (Comments)

Function

Adapter involved in the TLR4 signaling pathway in the innate immune response. Acts via IRAK2 and TRAF-6, leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, MAPK1, MAPK3 and JNK, resulting in cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Also forms heterodimers with MyD88. Binds to TLR4 and IRAK2 via their respective TIR domains. Binds to PKR and TBK1. Does not interact with IRAK1, nor TLR9. Ref.10

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in liver, kidney, spleen, skeletal muscle and heart. Also detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, placenta, small intestine, thymus, colon and brain.

Polymorphism

Genetic variation in TIRAP can influence susceptibility or resistance to invasive pneumococcal disease, bacteremia, malaria and tuberculosi.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 TIR domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P58753-1)

Isoform 2 (identifier: P58753-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     216-221: YLQTLS → CKLLQEGEGERDSATVSDLL
Isoform 3 (identifier: P58753-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     221-221: S → WHLLYHGTPEIGVKLETENPCRASDSHKCDKRYRE
