What are plasma proteins that non specifically bind to pathogens?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Nonspecific plasma proteins that bind to pathogens are:
- Non-phagocytic leucocytes -
- Basophil. which contains granules of toxic chemicals that can digest foreign microorganisms. They are involved in allergic response.
- Mast Cells - They are similar to basophils, and contain inflammatory chemicals including histamine and seratonin that cause blood vessels near a wound to constrict.
- Complement proteins are plasma proteins which have a role in nonspecific and specific defenses.

Which drug is binding with plasma protein?
Many drugs bind with your plasma proteins or albumins. An example is Warfarin (Coumadin) which is 90% bound to plasma proteins.
Which cell contains membrane proteins en- abling a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane?
The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.
A cell that contains proteins enabling a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane is called what?
Target cell
Which of these neurotransmitters does not bind to a plasma membrane receptor?
Nitric oxide does not bind to a plasma membrane receptor.
Protein attached to only one side of the plasma membrane?
Plasma membrane is made up of proteins and phospholipids. Integral protein are attached fully on the membarne region. whereas the periphera protein bind on the surface (one side or top) of the membrane.
What water-soluble hormone would most likely bind to what membrane proteins?
Channel linked receptors bind to neurotransmitters. (also called ion channels and ligand gated ion channels) A ligand is the signal molecule i.e the neurotransmitter. Hormones bind to intracellular receptors because hormones are non polar and can cross the cell's plasma membrane. (also called cytoplasmic receptors)
True or false steroid hormones perform accoding to the second messenger mechanism?
steroid hormones are hydrophobic and bind to transport proteins which bind to receptors within the nucleus. hydrophillic hormones bind to plasma membrane receptors and act through second messenger systems
Is thyroid hormone lipid soluble?
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyroxine (T3) are both lipid soluble. In order to travel through the blood they must bind to plasma proteins.
What are attachment proteins?
Attachment proteins anchor the cell membrane in various ways. Some attachment proteins bind the plasma membrane to the network of protein filaments within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton. The attachments between plasma membrane proteins and the underlying protein filaments produce the characteristic shapes of animal cells, from the dimpled discs of red blood cells to the elaborate branching of nerve cells. other membrane attachment proteins bind the cell to a matrix of other protein fibers that exist outside the cell. Still other attachment proteins form junctions between adjacent cells. .13 is a wonderful thing. lolz.
What substance on the plasma membrane helps identify chemical signals from outside the cell?
carbohydrates
Proteins in blood that bind to antigens?
Antibodies.
