Flagellin – A TLR5/NLRC4 Agonist

Flagellin – A TLR5/NLRC4 Agonist

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) recognises flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Activation of the receptor stimulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, through signalling via the adapter proteins MyD88, TIRAP and TRIF. Flagellin is the subunit protein which polymerises to form the filaments of bacterial flagella. It activates the innate immune system not only through the TLR5, but through the intracellular NAIP5/NLRC4 (IPAF) inflammasome protein as well.

AdipoGen Life Sciences offer different types of low endotoxin and high purity flagellins, including pathways specific mutants. The Flagellin (NLRC4 Mutant) (rec.) is only detected by TLR5 not by NLRC4, whereas the Flagellin (TLR5 Mutant) (rec.) is only detected by NLRC4.
