Summary
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 recognizes long single-stranded RNA and short double-stranded RNA.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 recognizes the single-stranded RNA viruses, vesicular stomatitis virus and influenza virus, resulting in activation of co-stimulatory molecules and production of cytokines.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7-dependent production of inflammatory cytokines can be induced by single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) molecules of non-viral origin.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7, 8 and 9 form a functional subgroup within the TLR family that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns in endosomal/lysosomal compartments.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7/9-mediated innate immune responses via selected TLR pathways can be negatively regulated by a human microsatellite DNA-mimicking oligodeoxynucleotide with CCT repeats.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7-dependent innate immune response is induced by free human T-cell leukemia virus 1 (HTLV-1) in killer plasmacytoid dendritic cells, resulting in high production of IFN-alpha and TRAIL relocalization.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 is expressed in C-fiber primary sensory neurons and is important for inducing itch (pruritus), but is not necessary for eliciting mechanical, thermal, inflammatory and neuropathic pain. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 signalling pathway plays a pivotal role in fungal pathogen recognition and is essential for the subsequent IFNB signalling. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 requires proteolytic processing in endolysosome by asparagine endopeptidase and cathepsin in the endolysosome to initiate signalling. (Demonstrated in murine model)
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 agonists, such as imidazoquinolines, accumulate in the MHC class II loading compartment - this pH-dependent localization is required for the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 inflammatory signalling leads to cardiac fibrosis in autoimmune associated congenital heart block.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 and TLR8 are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum to the endosome in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, as a consequence, plasmacytoid dendritic cells become dramatically sensitized to TLR7/8 agonists and this may play a role in systemic autoimmunity.
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 is responsible for the detection of retroviruses and serves as a key checkpoint controlling the development of germinal center B cells. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Homo sapiens] TLR7 signalling induces autophagy in HIV-infected plasmacytoid dendritic cells; this process is necessary for the induction of IFN-alpha.
[Homo sapiens] Aberrant TLR7 activation induces Epstein-Barr viral protein LMP1 expression, which exacerbates IFN production in lupus patients.
[Homo sapiens] IFN-λ1 is able to augment TLR-mediated B cell activation, partially attributed to an upregulation of TLR7 expression
[Mus musculus] Tlr7, 9, and 3 interact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein UNC93B and this is essential for proper TLR signaling.
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 is expressed in C-fiber primary sensory neurons and is important for inducing itch (pruritus), but is not necessary for eliciting mechanical, thermal, inflammatory and neuropathic pain in mice
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in fungal pathogen recognition and is essential for the subsequent Ifnb signaling.
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 requires proteolytic processing in endolysosome by asparagine endopeptidase and cathepsin in the endolysosome to initiate signalling.
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 agonist, such as imidazoquinolines, accumulate in the MHC class II loading compartment - this pH-dependent localization is required for the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] TLR7 inflammatory signalling leads to cardiac fibrosis in autoimmune associated congenital heart block.. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 and Tlr8 are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum to the endosome in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, as a consequence, plasmacytoid dendritic cells become dramatically sensitized to Tlr7/8 agonists and this may play a role in systemic autoimmunity.
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 is responsible for the detection of retroviruses and serves as a key checkpoint controlling the development of germinal center B cells.
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 signalling induces autophagy in HIV-infected plasmacytoid dendritic cells; this process is necessary for the induction of IFN-alpha. (Demonstrated in mice)
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 binds to exosomal Mir21 and Mir29a secreted by tumour cells and initiates a prometastatic inflammatory response.
[Mus musculus] Aberrant TLR7 activation induces Epstein-Barr viral protein LMP1 expression, which exacerbates IFN production in lupus patients. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Tlr7 contributes to the control of activated endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and ERV-induced tumours.
[Mus musculus] Mir126-Kdr axis is an important regulator of the innate response. Mir126 controls the survival and function of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and regulates gene expression of Tlr7, Tlr9, Nfkb1 and Kdr.
[Mus musculus] Treml4 is an essential positive regulator of Tlr7 signalling. Treml4(-/-) macrophages are hyporesponsive to Tlr7 agonists and fail to produce type I interferons due to impaired phosphorylation of Stat1 by Mapk14 and decreased recruitment of Myd88 to Tlr7.
[Mus musculus] Neuronal Tlr7 recognizes endogenous ligands such as the miRNAs Let7c and miR21 and plays a negative role in controlling neuronal growth in a cell-autonomous manner.
[Mus musculus] Extracellular RNA of cardiac origin exhibits a potent pro-inflammatory property in vitro and in vivo and induces cytokine production through Tlr7-Myd88 signalling.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000196664:
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 (PAMPs) 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 gene is predominantly expressed in lung, placenta, and spleen, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR8, on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
