hToll Usage And Synthesis

Biological Activity

Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensor. It plays a vital role in regulation of innate immunity. Palmitic acid (PA) interacts with TLR4 to stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in human immune cells. Elevated expression of TLR4 is associated with the lupus nephritis (LN) and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) pathogenesis. Genetic variations in the gene has been observed in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
