Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Membrane raft {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16880211}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16880211}. Note=Upon complex formation with CD36 and TLR4, internalized through dynamin-dependent endocytosis. Does not reside in lipid rafts before stimulation but accumulates increasingly in the raft upon the presence of the microbial ligand. In response to diacylated lipoproteins, TLR2:TLR6 heterodimers are recruited in lipid rafts, this recruitment determine the intracellular targeting to the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:16880211). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16880211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20037584}.
