Scavenger receptor — Scavenger receptors are a group of receptors that recognize modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) by oxidation or acetylation. This naming is based on a function of cleaning (scavenging): scavenger receptors widely recognize and uptake… … Wikipedia
Scavenger receptor class B1 — Scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR BI) is an integral membrane protein found in numerous cell types/tissues, including the liver and adrenal. It is best known for its role in facilitating the uptake of cholesteryl esters from high density… … Wikipedia
Receptor — In cell biology, a structure on the surface of a cell (or inside a cell) that selectively receives and binds a specific substance. There are hoards of receptors. There are receptors for insulin, receptors for low density lipoproteins (LDL), etc.… … Medical dictionary
Pattern recognition receptor — Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are a primitive part of the immune system. They are proteins expressed by cells of the innate immune system to identify pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are associated with microbial… … Wikipedia
Complement receptor — A complement receptor is a receptor of the complement system, a part of the mediated innate immune system. Complement receptors are responsible for detecting pathogens by mechanisms not mediated by antibodies. Complement activity is not antigen… … Wikipedia
NOD-like receptor — The NOD like receptors (NLRs), in short for Nucleotide Oligomerization Domain receptors, are cytoplasmic proteins that may have a variety of functions in regulation of inflammatory and apoptotic responses. NLRs are encoded by genes from a large… … Wikipedia
RAGE (receptor) — RAGE, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts is a 35kD transmembrane receptor of the immunoglobulin super family which was first characterized in 1992 by Neeper et al. [cite journal author = Neeper, M; Schmidt, AM; Brett, J; Yan, SD;… … Wikipedia
Pattern-recognition receptor — Unter dem Begriff pattern recognition receptors (PRRs, übersetzt etwa mustererkennende Rezeptoren ) werden eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Proteine zusammengefasst, die Pathogene anhand von charakteristischen Mustern (siehe pathogen associated… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Pattern-Recognition Receptor — Als Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) werden eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Proteine, die Pathogene anhand von charakteristischen Mustern, den PAMPs, erkennen bezeichnet. Als Auslöser einer komplexen Signalkaskade sind die PRR wesentlich an… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Trk receptor — Trk receptors are a family of tyrosine kinases that regulates synaptic strength and plasticity in the mammalian nervous system.cite journal |author=Huang EJ, Reichardt LF |title=Trk receptors: roles in neuronal signal transduction |journal=Annu.… … Wikipedia
