TLR3, Recombinant, Human (Toll-like Receptor 3, CD283)

TLR-3 is a single-pass type I receptor that binds to and signals the presence of microbial pathogens and double stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses. Signaling through TLR-3 can promote the NF-kB pathway to initiate innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial and viral infections, as well as the p53 pathway to trigger apoptosis in cells infected with dsRNA viruses. TLR-3 belongs to a family of structurally-related toll-like receptors (TLRs) containing an N-terminal domain rich in leucine repeats and a C-terminal intracellular Toll/interleukin (IL)-1 (TIL) domain. TLR-3 is expressed primarily in dendritic cells of the placenta and pancreas where it can reside on both sides of the plasma membrane and in the endosomal compartment of the cells. Recombinant human TLR-3 is 77kD glycoprotein containing 681 residues which comprise the TLR-3 extracellular domain.\n\nSource:\nRecombinant protein corresponding to human TLR-3, expressed in 293 cells.\n\nBiological Activity:\nBiological activity was determined by its ability to inhibit IL-8 secretion induced by Poly I:C in the TLR3 receptor-expressing HEK293 cells (HEK293 TLR3r).The ED50 for this effect is 30ug/ml in the presence of 100ug/ml of Poly I:C.\n\nEndotoxin:\n<0.1ng/ug (1EU/ug)\n\nAA Sequence:\nSTTKCTVSHE VADCSHLKLT QVPDDLPTNI TVLNLTHNQL RRLPAANFTR YSQLTSLDVG FNTISKLEPE LCQKLPMLKV LNLQHNELSQ LSDKTFAFCT NLTELHLMSN SIQKIKNNPF VKQKNLITLD LSHNGLSSTK LGTQVQLENL QELLLSNNKI QALKSEELDI FANSSLKKLE LSSNQIKEFS PGCFHAIGRL FGLFLNNVQL GPSLTEKLCL ELANTSIRNL SLSNSQLSTT SNTTFLGLKW TNLTMLDLSY NNLNVVGNDS FAWLPQLEYF FLEYNNIQHL FSHSLHGLFN VRYLNLKRSF TKQSISLASL PKIDDFSFQW LKCLEHLNME DNDIPGIKSN MFTGLINLKY LSLSNSFTSL RTLTNETFVS LAHSPLHILN LTKNKISKIE SDAFSWLGHL EVLDLGLNEI GQELTGQEWR GLENIFEIYL SYNKYLQLTR NSFALVPSLQ RLMLRRVALK NVDSSPSPFQ PLRNLTILDL SNNNIANIND DMLEGLEKLE ILDLQHNNLA RLWKHANPGG PIYFLKGLSH LHILNLESNG FDEIPVEVFK DLFELKIIDL GLNNLNTLPA SVFNNQVSLK SLNLQKNLIT SVEKKVFGPA FRNLTELDMR FNPFDCTCES IAWFVNWINE THTNIPELSS HYLCNTPPHY HGFPVRLFDT SSCKDSAPFE L\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store 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.
