Receptor proteins are designed so special molecules can bind to them, and send messages to the cell that trigger some sort of reaction within the cell.
They are embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell, to which a mobile signaling (or "signal") molecule may attach.

Does Testosterone acts as a signal receptor that activates ion channels proteins?
If we are to based it in the function of a testosterone inside a cell, it does not act as a signal receptor. Testosterone function is to bind a receptor protein that go into the nucleus and to activate a particular gene.
What are membrane proteins that bind to signals by which cells communicate?
receptor proteins
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
Neurotransmitters bind to specific proteins on the postsynaptic membrane called?
Receptor molecules, or called receptor proteins.
Cell contains receptor proteins for various chemicals?
YES cells do contain receptor proteins for a various chemicals.
In a cell Which function is NOT accomplished by receptor proteins?
preventing cytoplasmic reconstitution.
What is the function of a receptor?
Receptor proteins are used to pass messages between cells. They send the messages from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

What type of membrane proteins allow cells to identify one another?
Receptor proteins.
What are membrane proteins that bind to signals by which cells communicate?
receptor proteins
Most receptor proteins are embedded in the?
Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
Each lymphocyte has thousands of receptor proteins in its membranes. What is the job of these receptor proteins?
To recognize antigens.
What binds to a signal molecule enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule?
receptor proteins bind to signal molecules
Neurotransmitters bind to specific proteins on the postsynaptic membrane called?
Receptor molecules, or called receptor proteins.
Cell contains receptor proteins for various chemicals?
YES cells do contain receptor proteins for a various chemicals.
What are receptor proteins made up of?
maybe nerve endings,skincells,or neurotransmitters
Most of the food and waste materials that move into and out of a cell pass through?
Receptor Proteins
