Protein
Putative NAD(P)H nitroreductase Rv3131
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Function
Stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokine expression via TLR2 signaling pathway. Activation of TLR2 results in the phosphorylation and activation of NF-kappa-B. Also induces TLR2 expression. May influence the innate immune responses to facilitate the survival of M.tuberculosis in the granulomatous microenvironment.
Similarity
Belongs to the nitroreductase family.
