Human TLR3 mRNA

Description

Human TLR3 mRNA encodes the human toll like receptor 3 TLR3 protein, a member of the Toll-like receptor TLR family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLR3 recognizes dsRNA associated with viral infection, and induces the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of type I interferons. It may thus play a role in host defense against viruses.
