These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.
Biological background
Function: Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system.
Cellular localization: Secreted . Upon binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, it is internalized.
Tissue details: Detected in lung, spleen, uterus, vagina and epididymis. .
Background: Toll-like receptor 5, also known as TLR5, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TLR5 gene. Predicted to enable interleukin-1 receptor binding activity and signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of interleukin-8 production; positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; olfactory epithelium; spinal cord; and trunk unsegmented mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Legionnaires' disease; cystic fibrosis; cystitis; melioidosis; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human TLR5 (toll like receptor 5).
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
