General annotation (Comments)

Function	Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR9 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) dinucleotides. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Plays a role in defense against systemic mouse cytomegalovirus infection. Controls lymphocyte response to Helicobacter infection. Ref.5 Ref.6
Subunit structure	Interacts with MYD88 via their respective TIR domains By similarity. Interacts with BTK By similarity. Interacts with CNPY3. Interacts (via transmembrane domain) with UNC93B1. Ref.7 Ref.8
Subcellular location	Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome. Lysosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle › phagosome. Note: Relocalizes from endoplasmic reticulum to endosome and lysosome upon stimulation with agonist. Ref.9
Tissue specificity	Expressed in the basolateral region of gastric epithelial cells with high levels detected in antrum and body mucosa (at protein level). Detected in spleen and stomach at higher levels in C57BL/6 mice than BALB/C. Ref.5
Induction	Following Helicobacter infection, down-regulated in C57BL/6 mice and up-regulated in BALB/C mice. Ref.5
Disruption phenotype	Reduced proliferation of lymphocytes, reduced interferon-gamma production by splenocytes and reduced neutrophil numbers following Helicobacter infection. Ref.5
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Toll-like receptor family. Contains 26 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. Contains 1 TIR domain.
