TLR5 (human) full length protein-MNP

Plasma membrane-coated nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used in various applications, including delivery of therapeutic agents and induction of immune responses et al. Unlike the conventional strategies, MNPs directly leverage intact and natural functions of cell membranes, and show high biocompatibility, specificity, and low side effects. DIMA biotech developed an optimized MNPs platform for the full-length membrane protein productions using membrane coating technology and HEK293 based expression platform. The high-purity plasma membrane-coated nanoparticles were produced by extrusion after membrane extraction from the host HEK293 cells containing the overexpressed target proteins. Protein function: 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
