Summary
TLR5 engagement with its ligand, flagellin, results in the activation of MAP kinases (ERK1/2, JNK, and p38) and degradation of NFKBIA (I-kappa-B-alpha).
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is the TLR activated by bacterial flagellin and TLR5 residue 268 is responsible for human and mouse discrimination between flagellin molecules.
TLR5 recognizes bacterial flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and its activation mobilizes the nuclear factor NF-kappaB and stimulates tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) production.
TLR5 expressed on the basolateral surface of intestinal epithelia mediates innate immune inflammatory responses to Salmonella by inducing epithelial pro-inflammatory gene expression.
TLR5 forms heteromeric complexes with TLR4 as well as homomeric complexes. Signaling via heteromeric TLR5/TLR4 complexes is involved in the induction of macrophage nitric oxide (NO) production by Gram-negative flagellin.
TLR5 forms a dimer upon binding to bacterial flagellin.
TLR5 is highly expressed in mucosal dendritic cells and TLR5 signalling restricts regulatory T cell generation. (Demonstrated in mice)
TLR5 deficiency in mice leads to a transient inability to manage proteobacteria which promotes chronic gut inflammation. (Demonstrated in mouse)
CXCR1 regulates anti-Pseudomonas neutrophil responses through modulation of reactive oxygen species and interference with TLR5 expression.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Tlr5 forms a dimer upon binding to bacterial flagellin. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Tlr5 is highly expressed in mucosal dendritic cells and Tlr5 signalling restricts regulatory T cell generation.
[Mus musculus] Tlr5 deficiency in mice leads to a transient inability to manage proteobacteria which promotes chronic gut inflammation.
[Mus musculus] Flagellin-specific IgG1 antibody response is induced through a Tlr5-, inflammasome-, and Myd88-independent pathway.
[Mus musculus] Flagellin induces Tlr5-dependent Il22 production and Nlrc4-dependent Il18 production to promote a protective gene expression program in intestinal epithelial cells and elimination of rotavirus-infected cells.
[Mus musculus] Indirect Tlr5-dependent stimulation of airway conventional dendritic cells is essential to flagellin's mucosal adjuvant activity.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family, which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immune responses. These receptors recognize distinct pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are expressed on infectious agents. The protein encoded by this gene recognizes bacterial flagellin, the principal component of bacterial flagella and a virulence factor. The activation of this receptor mobilizes the nuclear factor NF-kappaB, which in turn activates a host of inflammatory-related target genes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with both resistance and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, and susceptibility to Legionnaire disease.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
