https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13543
Receptor found on many different cell types in the immune system that enables them to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Amongst the large number of different PRRs are the mannose receptor (CD206), macrophage scavenger receptor (CD204), and the toll-like receptors (TLRs).
Note: Many of the NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are thought to serve as PRRs.
