General annotation (Comments)

Function

Participates in the innate immune response to microbial agents. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response By similarity.

Subunit structure

Binds MYD88 via their respective TIR domains By similarity.

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 24 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.

Contains 1 TIR domain.
