Drosophila Toll transmembrane and intracellular domains / pSB1C3

Toll is a transmembrane protein involved in insect immune defense system to recognize pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungi. Toll activated by pathogens transmits the signaling to express anti-microbial peptide (AMP) to kill the pathogens. Drosophila transmembrane domain (808-828 aa) and intracellular domain (829-1097 aa) of Toll (dToll) play an important roll in regulating the immune signaling.
