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. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Ref.7

Subunit structure

Interacts with MYD88 via their respective TIR domains. Interacts with UNC93B1 By similarity. Interacts with BTK. Ref.7

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Detected in brain, heart, lung, liver, placenta, in monocytes, and at lower levels in CD11c+ immature dendritic cells.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Toll-like receptor family.

Contains 23 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.

Contains 1 LRRCT domain.

Contains 1 TIR domain.
