TLR5 is a 97.6kD member of the evolutionarily conserved toll-like receptor family (TLRs), expressed at high levels in the liver and detectable in small amounts in most other tissues.
TLRs play an important role in the recognition of invading microbial pathogens during innate immunity, acting through adaptor molecules such as MyD88 and TRAF6. TLR5 acts via a cytokine signaling pathway to induce the activation of NF-kappaB and in turn tumor necrosis factor alpha and has been shown to recognize flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
