Receptors detect a signal molecule and perform an action in response.

∙ 14y agoA molecule that cannot cross the membrane may bind to a receptor in the cell membrane. The receptor then sends the message to the cell interior. Although the receptor binds to a signal molecule outside the cell, the entire receptor changes shape- even the part inside the cell. As a result, it causes molecules inside the cell to respond. These molecules, in turn, start a compllicated chain of events inside the cell that tells the cell what to do. For instance, band 3 proteins is a membrane receptor in red blood cells. When activated, it triggers processes that carry carbon dioxide from body tissue to the lungs.

What is serpentine receptor?
A serpentine receptor is a receptor in the cell membrane that plays a role in signal transduction.
An allosteric receptor embedded in a cell membrane will change shape only?
when a signal molecule fits the shape of the receptor
A protein on the cell membrane binds and recognized to specific substance is called a?
It is called a receptor protein.
When a receptor protein in a cell membrane acts as a enzyme the receptor protein does what?
When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell. Resources: HOLT Biology Textbook - 9th grade edition Chapter 4, Cells and Their Environment.
What membrane protein is responsible for binding hormones that can switch on a cell?
Receptor proteins.

Define receptor of body?
A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.
What receptor has a ligand that can cross the cell membrane that binds?
Intracellular

Is a cell membrane a cell that can receive and transmit signals?
no.
Where are most receptor proteins found?
In the cell membrane.
Where in the cell membrane are most receptor proteins embedded?
Most receptors are located in the outer cell membrane.
In the plasma membrane of a cell a receptor has what function?
im not 100% sure, im actually researching it now, but i found out that a receptor protein transmits messages across the cell membrane.
Most receptor proteins are embedded in the?
Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
What binds to receptor molecules on the host cell membrane?
glycoproteins
