TLR2 belongs to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family that plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) which are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. TLR2 is expressed most abundantly in peripheral blood leukocytes, and mediates host response to Gram-positive bacteria and yeast via stimulation of NF-kappaB.
DESCRIPTION
TLR2 Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 805 amino acids (25-587a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 90.7kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa). TLR2 is expressed with a 239 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
