Function of Nod-like receptors in microbial recognition and host defense.

Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) are a specialized group of intracellular proteins that play a critical role in the regulation of the host innate immune response. NLRs act as scaffolding proteins that assemble signaling platforms that trigger nuclear factor-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways and control the activation of inflammatory caspases. Importantly,...
