Difference between Chitin and TLR2

Chitin vs. TLR2

Chitin (C8H13O5N)n, a long-chain polymer of ''N''-acetylglucosamine, is a derivative of glucose. Toll-like receptor 2 also known as TLR2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TLR2 gene.

Similarities between Chitin and TLR2

Chitin and TLR2 have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Commensalism, Fungus, Immune system, Innate immune system, Keratinocyte, Macrophage, Pathogen, Pathogen-associated molecular pattern, Protein, T helper cell.

Commensalism

Commensalism is a long term biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of one species gain benefits while those of the other species are neither benefited nor harmed.

Fungus

A fungus (plural: fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Innate immune system

The innate immune system, also known as the non-specific immune system or in-born immunity system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms involved in the defense of the host from infection by other organisms.

Keratinocyte

A keratinocyte is the predominant cell type in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, constituting 90% of the cells found there.

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος pathos "suffering, passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") or a '''germ''' in the oldest and broadest sense is anything that can produce disease; the term came into use in the 1880s.

Pathogen-associated molecular pattern

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs, are molecules associated with groups of pathogens, that are recognized by cells of the innate immune system.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

T helper cell

The T helper cells (Th cells) are a type of T cell that play an important role in the immune system, particularly in the adaptive immune system.
