IRAK2 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 2) belongs to the IRAK family and is ubiquitously expressed. The protein contains an amino terminal death domain and a central kinase domain. IRAK2 is required for TLR (Toll-like receptor) signaling. Upon activation of TLR4 and TLR8, IRAK2 is crucial for the induction of TNF (tumor necrosis factor). It also regulates endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling.
