Cooperates with LY96 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins and other microbial cell wall components. Cooperates with TLR1 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins or lipopeptides. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. May also promote apoptosis in response to lipoproteins.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Toll-like receptor 2
Subcellular Location
Cell membrane Single-pass type I membrane protein Cytoplasmic vesicle phagosome membrane Single-pass type I membrane protein
Interacts with LY96, TLR1 and TLR6 (via extracellular domain). Binds MYD88 (via TIR domain). Interacts with TICAM1. Ligand binding induces the formation of a heterodimer with TLR1 (By similarity). Interacts with CNPY3.
