Reacts with the Toll-like receptors 9 (TLR9, CD289). TLRs are highly conserved throughoutevolution and have been implicated in the innate defence to many pathogens. In Drosophila, toll isrequired for the anti-fungal response, while the related 18-wheeler is involved in antibacterialdefences. In mammals, TLR identified as type I transmembrane signalling receptors with patternrecognition capabilities, have been implicated in the innate host defence to pathogens.As investigated so far all functional characterized TLR signal via the TLR/IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) pathwaywhere recruitment of MyD88 seems to be essential.In contrast to cell-wall components, bacterial DNA is probably invisible for immune cells until DNA isliberated during processes taking place in the endosomal/lysosomal compartment where intracellularTLR9 recruits MyD88 to initiate signal transduction.
