MyD88, a protein involved in interleukin-1 (IL-1) mediated signaling, was originally isolated as myeloid differentiation primary response gene.1,2 MyD88 possesses an N-terminal death domain similar to cytoplasmic segments of TNF receptor 1, Fas, and C-terminal region related to IL-1 and toll receptors. Overexpression of MyD88 induces activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase and NF-κB through its death domain.3,4 The C-terminus of MyD88 interacts with the IL-1 receptor and blocks NF-κB activation induced by IL-1, but not by TNF.
