RIG-I-like receptors (retinoic acid-induced gene I-like receptors, RLR) are a family of molecules that are expressed in cells to sense viruses and belong to pattern recognition receptors for innate immunity. As a type of RNA helicase in the cytoplasm, they can recognize non-self viral RNA by combining their RNA ligands with pathogen-related molecular patterns. In infected cells, this interaction can trigger the fire activation of RLRs and downstream signaling molecules, which ultimately leads to the production of type I interferon and the production of inflammatory factors, and the cells make an antiviral immune response.
