Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pattern recognition receptors are designed to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) which are commonly found on microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Enzymes involved in glycolysis are not PAMPs and therefore least likely to be detected by pattern recognition receptors.
