The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in
pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are
highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and
functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated
molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents,
and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the
development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit
different patterns of expression. This gene is predominantly
expressed in lung, placenta, and spleen, and lies in close
proximity to another family member, TLR8, on chromosome X.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
