Nod-like-receptor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nod-like receptor (NLR) gene family codes for various proteins that serve as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which sense microbial products in the cytoplasm of cells.
The term "Nod-like receptor" is outdated and the new terminology (as of 16 May, 2008) is "nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat containing" protein.
