SCIMP is a transmembrane non-TIR TLR adaptor that promotes proinflammatory cytokine production from macrophages

Toll-like receptors engage TIR domain-containing adaptors to control proinflammatory gene expression in response to pathogens and tissue damage. Here the authors show that the non-TIR domain-containing transmembrane protein SCIMP is a previously unrecognized TLR adaptor expressed by macrophages.
