scavenger receptor
1Scavenger 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… …
2Scavenger 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… …
3scavenger receptor — Structurally diverse family of receptors on macrophages that are involved in the uptake of modified LDL and have been implicated in development of atherosclerotic lesions. Six classes are recognized with different binding preferences. Macrophage… …
4Receptor — 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.… …
5Pattern 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… …
6Complement 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… …
7NOD-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… …
8RAGE (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;… …
9Pattern-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… …
10Pattern-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… …
