Toll-Like Receptor 1 (TLR1) Antibody

Descripción

TLR1 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody against TLR1. Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, named for the closely related Toll receptor in Drosophila, play a pivotal role in innate immune responsesTLRs recognize conserved motifs found in various pathogens and mediate defense responsesTriggering of the TLR pathway leads to the activation of NF-κB and subsequent regulation of immune and inflammatory genesThe TLRs and members of the IL-1 receptor family share a conserved stretch of approximately 200 amino acids known as the TIR domainUpon activation, TLRs associate with a number of cytoplasmic adaptor proteins containing TIR domains including MyD88 (myeloid differentiation factor), MAL/TIRAP (MyD88-adaptor-like/TIR-associated protein), TRIF (Toll-receptor-associated activator of interferon), and TRAM (Toll-receptor-associated molecule)This association leads to the recruitment and activation of IRAK1 and IRAK4, which form a complex with TRAF6 to activate TAK1 and IKKActivation of IKK leads to the degradation of IκB that normally maintains NF-κB inactivity by sequestering it in the cytoplasmToll-like receptor expression is highest in peripheral blood leukocytes, monocytes, macrophages, though TLR1 expression may be less restricted than other family membersTLR1 associates with TLR2 to coopeRatively mediate immune responses to bacterial lipoproteins and lead to NF-κB activationTLR1 shows highest homology to TLR6, which shares 69% sequence identity.
