HCA151 recognises bovine TLR2, otherwise known as CD282. TLR2 is a single-pass type 1 membrane protein belong to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family and is expressed primarily by peripheral blood monocytes.
TLRs are expressed on the cell surface and the endocytic compartment and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents. They also initiate cell signalling to induce production of cytokines necessary for the innate immunity and subsequent adaptive immunity.
TLR2 is reported to respond to a diverse range of bacterial cell wall components, mediating the innate immune response in co-operation with Ly96 and TLR1.
