Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse Anti-Human CD282 Antibody (S-2968)

CD282, also known as Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), is an approximately 89-kDa type I transmembrane receptor of the Toll-like receptor family that plays a pivotal role in innate immunity by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as bacterial lipoproteins and cell wall components; it cooperates with co-receptors like LY96 and forms heterodimers with TLR1 or TLR6 to activate the MYD88- and TRAF6-dependent signaling pathway, leading to NF-κB activation, cytokine secretion, and inflammatory responses, while being abundantly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, especially monocytes, and involved in host defense against Gram-positive bacteria and yeast.
