Uniprot Id

Q86XR7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TICAM2

Target Full Name

TIR domain-containing adapter molecule 2

Target Function

Functions as sorting adapter in different signaling pathways to facilitate downstream signaling leading to type I interferon induction. In TLR4 signaling, physically bridges TLR4 and TICAM1 and functionally transmits signal to TICAM1 in early endosomes after endocytosis of TLR4. In TLR2 signaling, physically bridges TLR2 and MYD88 and is required for the TLR2-dependent movement of MYD88 to endosomes following ligand engagement. Involved in IL-18 signaling and is proposed to function as a sorting adapter for MYD88 in IL-18 signaling during adaptive immune response. Forms a complex with RAB11FIP2 that is recruited to the phagosomes to promote the activation of the actin-regulatory GTPases RAC1 and CDC42 and subsequent phagocytosis of Gram-negative bacteria.; Proposed to inhibit LPS-TLR4 signaling at the late endosome by interaction with isoform 1 thereby disrupting the association of isoform 1 with TICAM1. May be involved in TLR4 degradation in late endosomes.

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm. Golgi apparatus. Cell membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum. Early endosome membrane. Late endosome membrane. Cell projection, phagocytic cup. Note=Localized to the plasma membrane as a result of myristoylation. Phosphorylation on Ser-16 leads to its depletion from the membrane. Upon LPS stimulation colcoalizes with isoform 2 in late endosomes.; [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Early endosome membrane. Late endosome membrane. Note=Translocates to late endosomes upon LPS stimulation where it colcoalizes with isoform 1.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in spleen, prostate, testis, uterus, small intestine, colon, peripheral blood leukocytes, heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas Isoform 2 is ubiquitously expressed (at lower levels than isoform 1).

Target Background

Predicted to enable phospholipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including TRAM-dependent toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway; regulation of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 production; and regulation of toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathway. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; endosome; and phagocytic cup.
