Note: This page represents a term created by the combination ("post-composition") of two ontology terms. For more information on the individual terms, click the hyperlinked name.
Name: retina
Synonyms: retinas
Definition: Multi-tissue structure that contains the retinal neural layer and the retinal pigmented epithelium, and develops from the optic cup.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000152]
Name: RIG-I signaling pathway
Synonyms: DDX58 signaling pathway, retinoic acid inducible gene I signaling pathway, RIG-I signalling pathway, RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway, RIG-like helicase signaling pathway, RIG-like receptor signaling pathway, RLH signaling pathway, RLR signaling pathway
Definition: The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding ssRNA or dsRNA from another organism to the cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) RIG-1 (also known as DDX58). RIG-I detects RNA synthesized during viral replication or shed by non-viral pathogens, and triggers a signaling pathway to protect the host against infection, for example by inducing the expression of cytokines.
