What's a GeneRIF?

TLR11 or TLR12 silencing reduces parasite burden and increases IFN-gamma, but reduces IL-4, production indicating that TLR11 and TLR12 play a pro-leishmanial role.
Title: TLR11 or TLR12 silencing reduces Leishmania major infection.
Biochemical experiments revealed that TLR11 and TLR12 directly bind to Toxoplasma gondii profilin and are capable of forming a heterodimer complex.
Title: Cooperation of TLR12 and TLR11 in the IRF8-dependent IL-12 response to Toxoplasma gondii profilin.
While parasite RNA and DNA activate innate immune responses via TLR7 and TLR9, TLR11 and TLR12 heterodimers are required for sensing and responding to Toxoplasma profilin infection.
Title: Combined action of nucleic acid-sensing Toll-like receptors and TLR11/TLR12 heterodimers imparts resistance to Toxoplasma gondii in mice.
Recognition of profilin by Toll-like receptor 12 is critical for host resistance to Toxoplasma gondii.
Title: Recognition of profilin by Toll-like receptor 12 is critical for host resistance to Toxoplasma gondii.
TLRs 11-13 are expressed in normal and parasite infected mouse brains. This suggests a role for them in central nervous system infections.
Title: Expression and distribution of Toll-like receptors 11-13 in the brain during murine neurocysticercosis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
