  Human

• Specificity

  Detects human TLR9 in direct ELISAs. In direct ELISAs, approximately 50% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse TLR9 is observed, and less than 1% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) TLR1, rhTLR2, rhTLR3, rhTLR4, rhTLR5, rhTLR7, rhTLR8, and rhTLR10 is observed.

Background: TLR9

TLR9 (Toll receptor 9; also CD289) is a 145-150 kDa member of the Toll-like receptor family of molecules. It is expressed by colonic epithelium, CD123⁺ plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and transitional B cells, and responds to unmethylated DNA CpG motifs that exhibit either a GTCGTT sequence (in human), or a GACGTT sequence (in mouse). TLR9 is found in the ER, and translocates to either the cell membrane, or to lysosomes where it binds bacterial DNA. Precursor human TLR9 is a type I transmembrane protein 1032 amino acids (aa) in length. It possesses a 793 aa extracellular region that contains 26 LRRs (aa 26-818), plus a 193 aa cytoplasmic domain. The full-length 150 kDa form is suggested to be ligand-binding but nonsignaling. The active form is believed to be an 80 kDa cleavage product found in the endosome compartment. There are multiple splice forms. One contains a deletion of aa 2-16, a second possesses an alternate start site at Met58, while a third and fourth show alternative start sites aa 23 and 24 upstream of the standard site. Over aa 64-189, human TLR9 shares 76% aa identity with mouse TLR9.
