Myeloid Cell (Phagocytic) Receptors (N/A)

Myeloid cell phagocytic receptors are a diverse group of receptors expressed on macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, and granulocytes. These receptors play a critical role in the innate immune system by detecting pathogens, damaged cells, and altered self-components, initiating phagocytosis, and triggering inflammatory responses. Major classes include Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), Fc Receptors, Triggering Receptors Expressed on Myeloid Cells (TREMs), and Complement Receptors. Dysregulation of these receptors can contribute to various diseases, making them potential therapeutic targets.
