Toll-Like Receptor-3 Written by NCI Thesaurus v.07.09d   

Definition of Toll-Like Receptor-3 Expressed most in placenta, pancreas, and CD11c+ immature dendritic leukocytes by human TLR3 Gene (TLR Family), 904-aa 104-kDa (precursor) type I membrane protein Toll-Like receptor 3 contains a TIR domain and 22 LRR repeats. Likely involved in host viral defense, TLR3 recognizes viral dsRNA and has a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity to microbial agents. Sharing structural and functional similarities, highly conserved TLRs recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns expressed on infectious agents and mediate cytokine production necessary for effective immunity. TLR3 appears to act via MyD88 (TIR interaction) and TRAF6, leading to NF-Kappa-B activation and production of type I interferons. (NCI) Toll-Like Receptor-3 is from the group Cell Surface Receptor Other Names for Toll-Like Receptor-3 Toll-Like Receptor 3 TLR3 Source NCI Thesaurus License
