Understanding Toll-Like Receptors in Immunity by Talhasaad is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are membrane proteins that play a crucial role in the innate immune system by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiating immune responses. Discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, TLRs are involved in detecting various microbial components and activating pro-inflammatory cytokines. There are multiple types of TLRs located in plasma and endosomal membranes, each with specific ligands they recognize, contributing to the body
