How can a target cell's response to a hormone be amplified more than a millionfold?
Basically a hormone binds to an membrane receptor or a target inside of the cell, changing the conformation of the receptor. In the receptor's new conformation, it typically has a new enzymatic activity or a subunit with enzymatic activity is released or other reactions may occur. The point is, the binding of hormone to receptor acts to turn on a molecular "switch" enabling a biochemical pathway to proceed. A downstream enzyme is activated and can then activate further downstream enzymes. Each enzyme is capable of activating several downstream enzymes and in this way, a single hormone messenger can cause the activation of several times more downstream elements. Typically, a transcription factor will eventually be activated and a gene will be turned on, creating mRNA. This mRNA will be translated into protein, which further alters the cellular behavior.
What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?
estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, interleukin-2 receptor, and epidermal growth factor receptor.
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 are 4 types of proteins found in cell membrane?
Receptor proteins, recognition proteins, transport proteins, and enzymatic proteins.
What structures are found in the peripheeal nervous system?
peripheral nervous system consist of nerves conveying impulses from brain to sense receptor and from sense receptor to brain.

What is the function of tactile?
Functions as a sensory receptor for touch.
What is a channel linked receptor?
A channel linked receptor transduces functions of the same protein molecule. An example of a channel linked receptor are neurotransmitters in the brain.
What is peripheral adaptation?
Nerve receptor is stimulated so much that will ultimately become less sensitive to the skin.

What is the membrane protein's function?
Membrane proteins have many different functions; many are involved in transport across the cell membrane, such as channels, carriers and pumps (e.g .the Na/K-ATPase and P-glycoprotein), others are hormone receptors (e.g. EGFR and the insulin receptor) or confer structure to the cell membrane.
What are two functions of a virus's outer of protein coat?
To have the virus to attach to certain cells in the host.Attachment to the cell surface of the host molecule i.e. HIV's GP120 (glycoprotein 120) binds to CD4 receptor and CXCR4 and CRCR5 receptors. Also is necessary one would assume to protect the viral DNA/RNA.
