TLR8 - toll like receptor 8 Gene
Also Known as CD288; IMD98; hTLR8
Species: Homo sapiens
About TLR8
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 22 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in appendix (RPKM 10.8), spleen (RPKM 6.1) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
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 predominantly expressed in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR7, on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
