Molecular Mass
Recombinant Mouse TLR3 consists of 691 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 78.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant protein migRates as an approximately 100-110 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Background
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. TLR3 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by double-stranded RNA, a sign of viral infection. Acts via the adapter TRIF/TICAM1, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, IRF3 nuclear translocation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (By similarity).
