  2. Receptor (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor_(biochemistry)

    Receptors of a particular type are linked to specific cellular biochemical pathways that correspond to the signal. While numerous receptors are found in most cells, each receptor will only bind with ligands of a particular structure. This has been analogously compared to how locks will only accept specifically shaped keys. When a ligand binds ...

  3. Cell signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_signaling

    Enzyme-linked receptors (or catalytic receptors) are transmembrane receptors that, upon activation by an extracellular ligand, causes enzymatic activity on the intracellular side. [33] Hence a catalytic receptor is an integral membrane protein possessing both enzymatic, catalytic, and receptor functions. [34]

  4. Cell surface receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_surface_receptor

    Membrane receptors are mainly divided by structure and function into 3 classes: The ion channel linked receptor; The enzyme-linked receptor; and The G protein-coupled receptor. Ion channel linked receptors have ion channels for anions and cations, and constitute a large family of multipass transmembrane proteins.

  5. Hill equation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_equation_(biochemistry)

    The Gaddum equation is derived similarly to the Hill-equation but with 2 equilibria: both the ligand with the receptor and the antagonist with the receptor. Hence, the Gaddum equation has 2 constants: the equilibrium constants of the ligand and that of the antagonist

  6. Neurotransmitter receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter_receptor

    A neurotransmitter receptor is a class of receptors that specifically binds with neurotransmitters as opposed to other molecules. In postsynaptic cells, neurotransmitter receptors receive signals that trigger an electrical signal, by regulating the activity of ion channels. The influx of ions through ion channels opened due to the binding of ...

  7. Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoreceptor_tyrosine...

    ITAMs are important for signal transduction, mainly in immune cells. They are found in the cytoplasmic tails of non-catalytic tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors [7] such as the CD3 and ζ-chains of the T cell receptor complex, the CD79-alpha and -beta chains of the B cell receptor complex, and certain Fc receptors.

  8. Free fatty acid receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fatty_acid_receptor

    GPR84 binds and is activated by medium-chain fatty acids consisting of 9 to 14 carbon atoms such as capric, undecaenoic, and lauric acids. [21] [22] It has been recognized as a possible member of the free fatty acid receptor family in some publications [23] but has not yet been given this designation perhaps because these medium-chain fatty acid activators require very high concentrations (e.g ...

  9. Vitamin A receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A_receptor

    Vitamin A receptor, Stimulated by retinoic acid 6 or STRA6 protein was originally discovered as a transmembrane cell-surface receptor for retinol-binding protein. [1] [2] [3] STRA6 is unique as it functions both as a membrane transporter and a cell surface receptor, particularly as a cytokine receptor. In fact, STRA6 may be the first of a whole ...
