NCIt definition : Toll-like receptor 1 (786 aa, 90 kDa) is encoded by the human TLR1 gene. This protein
plays a role in antimicrobial immune responses.;
NCIt note : Toll-like receptor (TLR) 1 binds to the TLR2 extracellular domain and cooperates with
TLR2 to regulate lipoprotein-dependent inate immunity. TLR1 appears to bind MyD88
via their TIR domains, and to TRAF6, leading to NF-Kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion,
and inflammatory responses.;
