NCI: Expressed in monocytes, CD11c+ immature dendritic cells, and dermal endothelial cells by human TLR6 Gene (TLR Family), 796-aa 92-kDa (precursor) type I membrane protein Toll-Like Receptor 6 contains a TIR domain and 13 LRR repeats. Sharing structural and functional similarities, highly conserved TLRs recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns expressed on infectious agents and mediate cytokine production necessary for effective immunity. Bound extracellularly to TLR2, TLR6 mediates cellular response to fungi and bacterial lipoproteins MALP-2, STF, PSM, and OspA-L. TLR6 acts via MyD88 (TIR interaction) and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion, and the inflammatory response. (NCI),MSH: A pattern recognition receptor that forms heterodimers with TLR2 RECEPTOR. The complex interacts with a variety of ligands including LIPOPROTEINS from MYCOPLASMA.
