Anti-TLR11 (Toll-like Receptor 11, Gm287)

TLR11 is a type I transmembrane receptor of the Toll-like receptor family that is primarily expressed in epithelial cells, but also in dendritic cells and macrophages. The 926 amino acid (aa) mouse TLR11 transcript encodes a 30aa signal sequence, a 691aa extracellular domain with 10 leucine-rich repeats and 9 potential N-glycosylation sites, a 21aa transmembrane domain, and a 184aa cytoplasmic domain with a TIR domain. Within the region used as an immunogen, mouse and rat TLR11 share 86% aa sequence identity. Human TLR11 is a pseudogene that is not expressed. TLR11 resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), interacts with the multispan ER protein UNC93B1, recognizes profilin-like proteins on Toxoplasma gondii and other intracellular parasites, and activates dendritic cell IL-12 production.
