Combining with a peptidoglycan to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with lipoteichoic acid to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a lipopolysaccharide to initiate a change in cell activity. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are major components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, making them prime targets for recognition by the immune system. Combining with a polysaccharide to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity. Mediates the transfer of a signal from the outside to the inside of a cell by means other than the introduction of the signal molecule itself into the cell. Combining with lipoarabinomannan to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a molecular pattern based on a repeating or polymeric structure, such as a polysaccharide or peptidoglycan, to initiate a change in cell activity. Such molecular patterns are sometimes associated with potential pathogens.
