Toll-like receptors, often abbreviated TLRs, are critical to the innate immune system. Toll-like receptors of vertebrates and invertebrates recognize molecular patterns associated with pathogens and initiate an intracellular kinase cascade, inducing an immediate defensive response.[1][2] Template:STRUCTURE 3ciy
