pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway

Term ID
GO:0002221
Synonyms
  • PAMP receptor signaling pathway
  • pathogen receptor signaling pathway
  • pathogen receptor signalling pathway
  • PRR signaling pathway
Definition
The series of molecular signals initiated by a ligand binding to a pattern recognition receptor (PRR), and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. PRRs bind pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs), structures conserved among microbial species, or damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs), endogenous molecules released from damaged cells.
