MyD88 Products

Description

Myeloid differentiation Marker 88 (MyD88) is a universal adaptor molecule for the Toll/IL1R and is involved in the inflammatory response induced by IL1, IL18 and LPS. MyD88 associates with and recruits IRAK to IL1 receptor complex in response to IL1. This pathway further leads to activation of NFkB. Targeted disruption of the MyD88 gene results in lose of cellular responses to IL1 and IL18, and MyD88 deficient mice lack responses to bacterial product LPS that employs Toll like receptors 2 and 4 as the signaling receptors.
