Laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) plays an essential role in hepatitis C virus infection‐induced interferon responses
Lei Hei, Jin Zhong – 16 January 2017 – Retinoic acid‐inducible gene I (RIG‐I)‐like receptors are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect non‐self‐RNA and activate downstream interferon (IFN) signaling. One of the RIG‐I‐like receptors, laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2), was originally thought to be a negative feedback regulator in the RIG‐I signaling pathway, but growing evidence indicates that LGP2 is one cofactor of melanoma differentiation‐associated protein 5 (MDA5) in MDA5‐mediated IFN signaling activation.
