Depositor Comments

Murine TLR2 expression vector was made by removing the original signal peptide and replacing it with the signal peptide from preprotrypsin. When compared to GenBank reference NP_036035.3, the TLR2 insert in this plasmid appears to be missing aa1-23 due to the removal of the endogenous TLR2 signal peptide. See associated publication for more information.

Also, please note that Addgene's sequencing results identified additional mutations M82I and H202Y when compared to GenBank reference NP_036035.3. M82I and H202Y are possible polymorphisms as they were also present in the wild-type TLR2 sequence from the depositing laboratory (Addgene Plasmid 12291: pCMV-M2-TLR2). It is not known whether these mutations affect TLR2 function.
