Rabbit anti-Human TLR1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q15399

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TLR1

Target Full Name

Toll-like receptor 1

Target Function

Participates in the innate immune response to microbial agents. Specifically recognizes diacylated and triacylated lipopeptides. Cooperates with TLR2 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins or lipopeptides. Forms the activation cluster TLR2:TLR1:CD14 in response to triacylated lipopeptides, this cluster triggers signaling from the cell surface and subsequently is targeted to the Golgi in a lipid-raft dependent pathway. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Membrane raft. Golgi apparatus.

Target Protein Families

Toll-like receptor family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in spleen, ovary, peripheral blood leukocytes, thymus and small intestine.

Target Synonyms

CD281; CD281 antigen; KIAA0012; LPRS5; rsc786; TIL; TIL. LPRS5; Tlr1; TLR1_HUMAN; Toll (Drosophila) homolog; Toll like receptor 1; Toll-like receptor 1; Toll/interleukin-1 receptor-like protein

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which 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) that 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. This gene is ubiquitously expressed, and at higher levels than other TLR genes. Different length transcripts presumably resulting from use of alternative polyadenylation site, and/or from alternative splicing, have been noted for this gene.
