At leаst 13 different tоll-like receptоrs (TLRs, а type оf pаttern recognition receptor, or PRR) have been identified in animals. TLR11 binds to a structure of uropathogenic E. coli, i.e., strains of E. coli that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). TLR11 is expressed in mouse kidney and bladder epithelial cells, but is not properly expressed in humans due to the presence of multiple stop codons interrupting the coding region of the gene (which is therefore called a pseudogene), preventing proper formation of the receptor in humans (i.e., humans do not produce functional TLR11). As a result of this, all of the following are true EXCEPT: Copyright 2025 by Dr. Jonathan A. Miller. All rights reserved. Online sharing or distribution is prohibited.
