Term Name: pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway
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.
