DESCRIPTION

Also known as TLR5_HUMAN, TLR5, TIL3. Pattern recognition receptor (PRR) located on the cell surface that participates in the activation of innate immunity and inflammatory response (PubMed:11323673, PubMed:18490781). Recognizes small molecular motifs named pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) expressed by pathogens and microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) usually expressed by resident microbiota (PubMed:29934223). Upon ligand binding such as bacterial flagellins, recruits intracellular adapter proteins MYD88 and TRIF leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and induction of the inflammatory response (PubMed:20855887, PubMed:11489966). Plays thereby an important role in the relationship between the intestinal epithelium and enteric microbes and contributes to the gut microbiota composition throughout life (By similarity). Homodimer (PubMed:22173220). Interacts with MYD88 (via TIR domain) (PubMed:20855887). Interacts with TICAM1 (via TIR domain) (PubMed:20855887). Interacts with UNC93B1; this interaction is essential for proper TLR5 localization to the plasma membrane (PubMed:24778236).
