GlossaryNOD-like receptor

detects cellular threats to trigger immune responses

NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a type of protein found inside cells that play a crucial role in the immune system by detecting signs of infection or cellular damage. When these receptors sense such threats, they help trigger an immune response to protect the body.
