When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell.

They activate a second messenger that acts a signal molecule within the cell.
G-protein-linked receptor
There are many uses for proteins in a cell membrane but the most common ones are: 1. Facilitated diffusion- a protein acts almost like a channel to allow molecules that cannot fit across the phospholipid bilayer to diffuse into/out of the cell 2. Active transport- proteins are used to move particles across the membrane from low to high concentration, using energy. 3. As receptor molecules which take signals from things like hormones.
The carrier protein that transports hydrogen ions across thylakoid membranes and produce ATP acts as ion channel and an enzyme. The Krebs Cycle is a series of enzyme.
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.
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
acts as catalysts
Yes, that is exactly what an enzyme is.
First of all 'catalist ' is spelled as 'CATALYST'. Note the 'Y' in place of 'i'. A protein that acts as an orgsanic catalyst is an ENZYME.
myosin
All Enzyme are proteins enzymes act as catalyst
G-protein-linked receptor
the virus enters through the respiratory tract or conjunctivas of the eyes. the membrane cofactor protein acts as the receptor for the measles virus. it is highly contagious caused by morbillivirus of the family paramyxoviridae.
Enzyme
It acts as a facilitator to allow water-soluble subtances to pass through the cell membrane
