Other than their ligand specificity, what is a key difference between TLR5, TLR4, TLR1:TLR2, and TLR2:TLR6 compared to TLRs 3, 7, 8, and 9?

What will be an ideal response?


TLR-4, TLR1:TLR2, and TLR2:TLR6 are transmembrane receptors anchored on the plasma membrane surface of human cells and interact with pathogens located in extracellular locations. In contrast, TLR3, 7, 8, and 9 are anchored in endosomal membranes located in the cytosol, where the intracellular degradation of pathogens takes place.
