Function | Cooperates with LY96 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins and other microbial cell wall components. Cooperates with TLR1 or TLR6 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins or lipopeptides. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. May also promote apoptosis in response to lipoproteins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Detected in a macrophage cell line, smooth muscle, lung, spleen, thymus, brain and adipose tissue. |
Top Pathways | Herpes simplex infection, Proteoglycans in cancer, Leishmaniasis, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), PI3K-Akt signaling pathway |
