Human Interleukin-1 Receptor-associated Kinase-2 Is Essential for Toll-like Receptor-mediated Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor α

Abstract excerpt

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that recognize microbial ligands and subsequently trigger intracellular signaling pathways involving transcription factors such as NFκB and MAPKs such as p38. TLR signaling can regulate both transcriptional and post-transcriptional events leading to altered gene expression and thus appropriate immune responses. The interleukin-1 receptor-associated...
