Term ID
GO:0031663
Synonyms
  • lipopolysaccharide-mediated signalling pathway
  • LPS-mediated signaling pathway
Definition
The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to a receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Lipopolysaccharides are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, making them prime targets for recognition by the immune system. 15379975
