| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including amyloid-beta binding activity; lipopeptide binding activity; and lipoteichoic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including microglia development; negative regulation of cellular component organization; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of defense response; regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of Toll-like receptor 2-Toll-like receptor 6 protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); dermatitis (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and rhinitis (multiple). Orthologous to human TLR2 (toll like receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice demonstrate abnormal responses to bacterial and viral infections. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele also exhibit disruption in circadian active and inactive state consolidation. [provided by MGI curators] |
