TLR2 extracellular (Toll Like Receptor 2)

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a signalling receptor that is activated by LPS in a response that depends on LPS-binding protein and is enhanced by CD14. A region in the intracellular domain of TLR2 with homology to a portion of the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor that is implicated in the activation of the IL-1-receptor-associated kinase is required for this response. Results indicate that TLR2 is a direct mediator of signalling by LPS (1). All bacterial pathogens produce lipoproteins (BLPs), which trigger the innate immune response. BLPs were found to induce apoptosis in THP-1 monocytic cells through human TLR2. BLPs also initiated apoptosis in an epithelial cell line transfected with TLR2. BLPs stimulated nuclear factor-kappaB, a transcriptional activator of multiple host defense genes, and activated the respiratory burst through TLR2. Thus, TLR2 is a molecular link between microbial products, apoptosis, and host defense mechanisms (2). It has been found that in TLR2 extracellular domain (C-term) all four predicted glycosylation sites are substituted, although one site is inefficiently core-glycosylated and its removal drastically affects secretion. The remaining TLR2 glycosylation sites also contribute to efficient protein secretion, albeit to a lesser degree (3).\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Immunocytochemistry, Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1:500 \nImmunocytochemistry: 1:250-1:500\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. \n\nManufactured incorporating RabMAb(R) technology under Epitomics US patents, No 5,675,063 and 7,429,487, owned by Abcam.
