Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) also called CD282 is a protein that detects molecules from bacteria and fungi. It has a mass of about 90 kDa. TLR2 is expressed on the surface of immune cells such as monocytes macrophages and neutrophils. This receptor recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activates the immune response./ Biological function summary/ TLR2 initiates signaling pathways that lead to the production of cytokines and chemokines helping to control infection. It forms dimers with other TLRs like TLR1 or TLR6 to expand its recognition range of microbial components. TLR2's activity is important for balancing pathogen recognition and avoiding overactive immune response. On macrophages TLR2 activation enhances their phagocytic ability./ Pathways TLR2 plays roles in innate immune signaling pathways and inflammation pathways. It contributes significantly to the NF-kB and MAPK pathways which regulate inflammation and immune response. TLR2 often cooperates with proteins like MyD88 and TRAF6 in these pathways leading to downstream activation of transcription factors and production of pro-inflammatory molecules./ TLR2 is associated with inflammatory and infectious diseases including sepsis and tuberculosis. During tuberculosis interactions between TLR2 and its ligands trigger immune responses that are important for bacterial control. Additionally TLR2’s overactivation links to sepsis by causing excessive inflammation. Researchers study TLR2 for potential therapeutic targeting in these diseases assessing how modulation can improve outcomes or reduce detrimental inflammation./
