Rabbit polyclonal TIRAP antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the middle of human TIRAP.
Toll-like receptors (TRLs) are signaling molecules that recognize different microbial products during infection and serve as an important link between the innate and adaptive immune responses. The TLRs act through adaptor molecules such as MyD88 and TIRAP to activate various kinases and transcription factors. In TIRAP deficient mice, TLR signaling in response to TLR2 ligands (using either TLR1 and TLR6 as co-receptors) is totally abolished, suggesting that MyD88 and TIRAP work together and are both required for TLR2 signaling. Furthermore, these mice are also resistant to the toxic effects of LPS and show defects in NF-B and MAP kinase activation, suggesting that TIRAP is also involved in TLR4 signaling. Synonyms:
