UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P22366 (P22366)
Gene Name:
Myd88
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Adapter protein involved in the Toll-like receptor and IL-1 receptor signaling pathway in the innate immune response (PubMed:9697844). Acts via IRAK1, IRAK2, IRF7 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response (PubMed:9575168, PubMed:9697844). Increases IL-8 transcription. Involved in IL-18-mediated signaling pathway (PubMed:9697844). Activates IRF1 resulting in its rapid migration into the nucleus to mediate an efficient induction of IFN-beta, NOS2/INOS, and IL12A genes (PubMed:17018642). Upon TLR8 activation by GU-rich single-stranded RNA (GU-rich RNA) derived from viruses, induces IL1B release through NLRP3 inflammasome activation (By similarity). MyD88-mediated signaling in intestinal epithelial cells is crucial for maintenance of gut homeostasis and controls the expression of the antimicrobial lectin REG3G in the small intestine (PubMed:17635956, PubMed:21998396). Mediates leukocyte recruitment at the inflammatory site (PubMed:18941239) Defective in its ability to induce IRAK phosphorylation and NF-kappa-B activation and can function as a negative regulator of activation by IL-1 or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
