Name: retina
Synonyms: retinas
Definition: Multi-tissue structure that contains the retinal neural layer and the retinal pigmented epithelium, and develops from the optic cup.
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000152]
Name: nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor signaling pathway
Synonyms: NLR signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing receptor signaling pathway, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor signal transduction, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor signal transduction pathway, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor signalling pathway
Definition: The series of molecular signals initiated by a ligand binding to a nucleotide-binding domain, leucine rich repeat containing receptor (NLR), and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process. NLRs are cytoplasmic receptors defined by their tripartite domain architecture that contains: a variable C-terminus, a middle nucleotide-binding domain, and a LRR domain that is variable in the repeats composition and number.
