Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in liver, kidney, spleen, skeletal muscle and heart. Also detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, placenta, small intestine, thymus, colon and brain. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated by IRAK1 and IRAK4. Also phosphorylated by BTK. Polyubiquitinated. Polyubiquitination follows phosphorylation by BTK and leads to TIRAP degradation. |
Function | Adapter involved in TLR2, TLR4 and RAGE signaling pathways in the innate immune response. Acts via IRAK2 and TRAF-6, leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, MAPK1, MAPK3 and JNK, and resulting in cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Positively regulates the production of TNF-alpha (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL6). |
