Description

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), also known as CD283, is type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the TLR family. It forms a large horseshoe shape that contacts a neighboring horseshoe, forming a dimer of two horseshoes. It is characterized by an extracellular domain with leucine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic domain with homology to the type I IL-1 receptor. TLR3 is expressed selectively on the cytoplasmic membrane and intracellularly in dendritic cells. It is also highly expressed in the placenta, pancreas, heart, liver, lung, and muscle. TLR3 is a pattern recognition receptor that participates in innate immune response to microbial pathogens by recognizing polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)) and dsRNA. Ligand binding by TLR3 induces receptor dimerization which results in inducing NF-κB activation (via TRIF-linked RIP1/TLR3 interactions) and cytokine production. TLR3 has been shown to interact with a number of proteins including MYD88, TRAF6, TRIAD3, MAP3K7, and TAB2.

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by intracellular immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
