TLR3 Antibody

• Description:

  TLR3 (Toll-like receptor 3) also known as CD283 (cluster of differentiation 283) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR3 gene. The gene is mapped to chromosome 4q35 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. It is a member of the Toll-like receptor family of pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system. 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 receptor is most abundantly expressed in placenta and pancreas, and is restricted to the dendritic subpopulation of the leukocytes. It recognizes dsRNA associated with viral infection, and induces the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of type I interferons. It may thus play a role in host defense against viruses.
