Summary
[Homo sapiens] IRAK4 is required for interleukin-1 receptor/toll-like receptor-induced MAP3K7 (TAK1)-dependent NF-kappaB activation.
[Homo sapiens] IRAK4 and IRAK1 play key roles in a signalling pathway by which bacterial infection or IL-1 trigger the production of inflammatory mediators.
[Homo sapiens] IRAK4 is indispensable for the responses of animals and cultured cells to IL-1 and ligands that stimulate various Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
[Homo sapiens] IRAK4 plays a critical role in IL-1R and TLR signalling cascades and is an essential component of the IL-18 signalling cascade.
[Homo sapiens] IRAK4 activation is impaired during endotoxin tolerization; a process which impairs the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines without inhibition expression of anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial mediators.
[Mus musculus] IRAK4-mediated innate immune inflammatory responses play critical roles in divergent clinical outcomes in murine malaria models when Irak4 (-/-) mice were used to study two experimental models of malaria.
[Mus musculus] Irak4 activation is impaired during endotoxin tolerization; a process which impairs the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines without inhibition expression of anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial mediators.
[Mus musculus] Irak4 deficient mice show impaired innate immunity, leading to defective Type 1 T-cell responses, B-cell expansion, and are more susceptible to Toxoplasma gondii infection.
[Mus musculus] Mir302b expression is up-regulated upon bacterial infection and is a crucial regulator of NFκB signalling by directly targeting IRAK4
[Mus musculus] Irak4 is a molecular target of chlorogenic acid in the treatment of innate immunity-related shock and organ dysfunction following insult of various Toll-like receptor pathogens from bacteria and viruses.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000198001:
This gene encodes a kinase that activates NF-kappaB in both the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathways. The protein is essential for most innate immune responses. Mutations in this gene result in IRAK4 deficiency and recurrent invasive pneumococcal disease. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
