fliC (S. enterica)

Flagellin (FliC) is a subunit protein that polymerizes (along with other proteins) to form the filaments of bacterial flagella. Assembly of the bacterial flagellum occurs in a precise, temporal order where the basal component (FlgE, FlgK, and FlgL are assembled inside the bacterial membrane, followed by exportation of the filament cap protein FliD, and secretion of about 20,000 flagellin monomers (FliC) through the channel. FliC monomers are polymerized to form the tail filament. FliC monomers can function as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and can be detected by host cells through surface-localized toll-like receptor6(TLR5) and cytosolic Nod-like receptors (NLRs). https://www.creative-diagnostics.com/fliC-S-enterica-124917-397.htm
