Toll様受容体
Toll-like receptor 11 (TLR11) is a protein that in mice and rats is encoded by the gene "TLR11", whereas in humans it is represented by a pseudogene. TLR11 belongs to the toll-like receptor (TLR) family and the interleukin-1 receptor/toll-like receptor superfamily. In mice, TLR11 has been shown to recognise flagellin and/or profilin present on certain microbes, it helps propagate a host immune response. TLR11 plays a fundamental role in both the innate and adaptive immune responses, through the activation of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, the Interleukin 12 (IL-12) response, and Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion. TLR11 mounts an immune response to multiple microbes, including Toxoplasma gondii ("T. gondii"), Salmonella species, and uropathogenic "E. coli", and likely many other species due to the highly conserved nature of flagellin and profilin.
