Tlr3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables pattern recognition receptor activity; transmembrane signaling receptor activity; and ubiquitin-like protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to virus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to exogenous dsRNA; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of cytokine production. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in blood; brain; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including hepatitis B; hepatitis C; human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; liver cirrhosis; and primary immunodeficiency disease (multiple). Orthologous to human TLR3 (toll like receptor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tlr3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
