Controls the host immune response system against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganism. TLR3 is a nuclear-sensing TLR which is going to be 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. | Controls the host immune response system against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganism.
