Description…
TLR2, or toll-like receptor 2, is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLR2 is involved in the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins and other microbial cell wall components. TLR2 also plays a role in NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.
