Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This gene is predominantly expressed in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR7, on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Toll-like receptor 8
 
Function
Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response

In conclusion, our data collectively provide a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of DEGs in PCOS. Our results confirm that the inflammation and immune play important roles in the occurrence and development of PCOS. Meanwhile, TLR signaling pathway mediating inflammation and immune might be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and TLR2, TLR8, CD14 may be core target genes.
