Anti-TLR7 (Clone: ABM2C27)

TLR7 (Toll-like receptor 7) is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. TLR7 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by single-stranded RNA, which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLR7 controls host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisims. TLR7 interacts with MYD88 via their respective TIR domains and also interacts with UNC93B1. Post-translational modifications and glycosylation occur in TLR7. TLR7 detected in brain, placenta, spleen, stomach, small intestine, lungs and plasmacytoid pre-dendritic cells. Protein function: Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR7 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by single-stranded RNA. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.
