Enables several functions, including amyloid-beta binding activity; lipopeptide binding activity; and lipoteichoic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including microglia development; negative regulation of cellular component organization; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of defense response; regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of Toll-like receptor 2-Toll-like receptor 6 protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); dermatitis (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and rhinitis (multiple).
