Goat Anti-Mouse CD289 (N Terminal)

Goat anti Mouse CD289 antibody recognises murine Toll-like receptor 9, also known as CD289 or TLR9. CD289 is an 1032 amino acid ~120 kDa endosomal single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein with a number of leucine rich repeats and a single TIR domain (UniProt: Q9NR96). Goat anti Mouse CD289 antibody recognizes an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of CD289, a member of the toll-like receptor family, which triggers MyD88 and TRAF6, resulting in NF-kappaB activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.CD289 acts as a receptor for unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine dinucleotides in bacterial DNA (CpG-DNA), playing a primary role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity and has been shown to play a role in defence against systemic mouse cytomegalovirus infection.Goat anti Mouse CD289 antibody is reported as suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on acetone fixed cells.
