Human Gene TLR6 (uc010ifg.2)
  Description: Homo sapiens toll-like receptor 6 (TLR6), mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_006068): The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This receptor functionally interacts with toll-like receptor 2 to mediate cellular response to bacterial lipoproteins. A Ser249Pro polymorphism in the extracellular domain of the encoded protein may be associated with an increased of asthma is some populations.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

  ID: TLR6_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Toll-like receptor 6; AltName: CD_antigen=CD286; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Participates in the innate immune response to Gram- positive bacteria and fungi. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Recognizes mycoplasmal macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2kD (MALP-2), soluble tuberculosis factor (STF), phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) and B.burgdorferi outer surface protein A lipoprotein (OspA-L) cooperatively with TLR2.
SUBUNIT: Binds TLR2 via their respective extracellular domains. Binds MYD88 via their respective TIR domains (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (By similarity). Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in monocytes, CD11c+ immature dendritic cells, plasmacytoid pre-dendritic cells and dermal microvessel endothelial cells.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Toll-like receptor family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 12 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 LRRCT domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 TIR domain.

    Several SNPs mapping to the TLR and NFkappaB signalling systems demonstrated association with anti-TNF response as a whole and, in particular, with response to etanercept. Validation of these findings in an independent cohort is now warranted.

    Using genome-wide association methodology, we have successfully identified a SNP in complete LD with a sequence variant previously shown to be strongly associated with factor VII, providing proof of principle for this approach. Further study of additional strongly associated SNPs and linked regions may identify novel variants that influence the inter-individual variability in hemostatic factors and hematological phenotypes.

  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
