Human TLR8 mRNA

Human TLR8 mRNA encodes the human toll like receptor 8 (TLR8) protein, a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLR8 acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.
