moléculas de patrones moleculares asociadas a peligro
Scope note: Grupo estructuralmente diverso de moléculas endógenas multifuncionales, que tienen funciones fisiológicas dentro de la célula, pero que cuando son liberadas por células muertas o sometidas a estrés, o por ciertas células inmunitarias, activan la INMUNIDAD INNATA. La liberación incontrolada y excesiva de alarminas puede contribuir a la INFLAMACIÓN, la CARCINOGÉNESIS y las METÁSTASIS. Las alarminas también son cruciales para la homeostasis del corazón y del tejido nervioso.

Scope note: A structurally diverse group of endogenous molecules that are multifunctional, having physiological functions inside the cell, but when released from dying cells or from cells under stress or certain immune cells, they function to activate INNATE IMMUNITY. Uncontrolled and excessive release of alarmins may contribute to INFLAMMATION; CARCINOGENESIS, and NEOPLASM METASTASIS. Alarmins are also critical for heart and nerve tissue homeostasis.
