sjorgrens syndrome
Which hormone causes grave's disease?
Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes hyperthyroidism.(particularly in the developed countries). normally TSH combines with the surface receptors of thyroid cells and causes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. in Grave's disease the thyroid stimulating autoantibodies (B-TSAB) produced by B lymphocytes activate the TSH receptors and increase the secretion of thyroid hormones(thyroxine and triiodothyronine). Grave's disease is due to elevated thyroid stimulating IgG also knoen as long acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) which activates TSH and, thereby, increases thyroid hormonal production.
Where do receptor molecules end up after receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Its NOT 'on the inside surface of the cell membrane' Probably ' on the inside surface of the vesicle'
Is CD4 an adhesion molecule?
The glycoprotein CD4 is a co-receptor. A co-receptor is "a cell surface receptor, which, when bound to its respective ligand, modulates antigen receptor binding or affects cellular activation after antigen-receptor interactions." (MediLexicon)

What is the first step in epinephrine signaling?
the hormone binds to an epinephrine receptor on the cell surface
Why will a certain virus attach to only one or a few cell types?
Virus attachment is dependent upon the cell surface receptor that can interact with the protein on the virus surface. The interaction is akin to a lock and a key. The key is the protein on the virus, and the lock is the cell surface receptor. A key will only get into the correct lock.
