GlossaryToll-like receptor 3

detects viral RNA to trigger immune responses

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and responding to viral infections. It detects double-stranded RNA, a molecular pattern associated with many viruses, and triggers an immune response to help fight off the infection.
