Summary
[Homo sapiens] TLR4 is activated by LPS and this recognition activates the Src family kinases, Src, Fyn and Yes, which in turn contribute to tyrosine phosphorylation of Zonula adherens proteins to open the endothelial paracellular pathway.
[Homo sapiens] TLR4 binding to microbial ligands can be inhibited by CD180 and its helper molecule, LY86, via direct interactions with the TLR4 signalling complex.
[Homo sapiens] TLR4 is involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling and serves as a cell-surface co-receptor for CD14, leading to LPS-mediated NF-kappaB activation and subsequent cellular events.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000136869:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This receptor has been implicated in signal transduction events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) found in most gram-negative bacteria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with differences in LPS responsiveness. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
