Preferred Label : RIG-I-Like Receptor Signaling Pathway;
Alternative definition : KEGG: Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are responsible for detecting
viral pathogens and generating innate immune responses. Non-self RNA appearing in
a cell as a result of intracellular viral replication is recognized by a family of
cytosolic RNA helicases termed RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). The RLR proteins include
RIG-I, MDA5, and LGP2 and are expressed in both immune and nonimmune cells. Upon recognition
of viral nucleic acids, RLRs recruit specific intracellular adaptor proteins to initiate
signaling pathways that lead to the synthesis of type I interferon and other inflammatory
cytokines, which are important for eliminating viruses.;
