- Background
- PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a mitochondrial serine/threonine-protein kinase encoded by the PINK1 gene. This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that localizes to mitochondria. It is thought to protect cells from stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Mutations in this gene cause one form of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease.
- Synonyms
- Toll-like receptor 3; CD283; TLR3
- Gene Name
- PINK1
- Gene ID
- 65018

- Q9BXM7
- Host
- Rabbit
- Reactivity
- Human
- Cross Reactivity
- No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Immunogen
- E.coli-derived human PINK1 recombinant protein (Position: E112-A570) .
- Clonality
- Polyclonal
- Tissue Specificity
- Expressed at high level in placenta and pancreas. Also detected in CD11c+ immature dendritic cells. Only expressed in dendritic cells and not in other leukocytes, including monocyte precursors. TLR3 is the TLR that is expressed most strongly in the brain, especially in astrocytes, glia, and neurons.

- Function
- Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR3 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by double-stranded RNA, a sign of viral infection. Acts via the adapter TRIF/TICAM1, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, IRF3 nuclear translocation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response.
