TIRAP MAL Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adapter protein MyD88 adapter-like protein Adaptor protein Wyatt
Molecular Weight(MW)
23883 Da
Function
Adapter involved in TLR2 and TLR4 signaling pathways in the innate immune response. Acts via IRAK2 and TRAF-6, leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, MAPK1, MAPK3 and JNK, and resulting in cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Positively regulates the production of TNF-alpha and interleukin-6
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in liver, kidney, spleen, skeletal muscle and heart. Also detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, placenta, small intestine, thymus, colon and brain
