TASL

Innate immune adapter that mediates the recruitment and activation of IRF5 downstream of endolysosomal toll-like receptors TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9 (PubMed:32433612). Following recruitment to endolysosome by SLC15A4 downstream of TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9, specifically recruits IRF5 transcription factor via its pLxIS motif, leading to IRF5 activation and subsequent expression of type I interferons (PubMed:32433612). Plays a role in the regulation of endolysosomal pH in immune cells such as B-cells, dendritic cells and monocytes (PubMed:31001245).
