What is the purpose of receptor proteins?
The intracellular proteins form the most important class of receptors called receptor proteins. Receptor proteins are located in the cytoplasm, cell membrane, or nuclear membrane. 1. Cytoplasmic receptor proteins include those that respond to steroid hormones. Ligand activated receptors may enter the cell nucleus where they modulate gene expression. 2. Receptors within cell membranes may be peripheral or trans-membrane proteins. Many receptors for hormones and neurotransmission are trans-membrane proteins. - a. Metabotropic receptors are coupled to G-proteins, acting through various secondary pathways involving ion channels, enzymes such as adenylyl (adenylate) cyclases, and phospholipases, or PDZ domains. - b. Ionotropic receptors are ligand-activated ion channels that permit entry of ions when the central pore is open. A receptor protein is protein molecule that found embedded in the plasma membrane surface of a cell. It receives chemical signals from outside the cell.
What are The organic compounds that function in building tissues and acting as enzymes?
Protiens
Similar cells acting together to perform a specific function?
That would called an 'Organ'.
What is the function of a consensus sequence in transcription initiation?
Definition:Consensus sequences are the repeated nucleotide's sequence e.g TATA box,GC-rich region etc.Function:And these sequences can be start,stop,promoters' attachment sequences,etc.So they are the cis-acting elements of DNA,with which the trans-acting elements interact.
What receptor does caffeine block in order to stimulate?
The primary receptor for caffeine on the cell membrane is the adenosine receptor. Caffeine acts as a non selective antagonist at the A1 and A2A receptors, so it has the opposite effect of adenosine, acting as a stimulant and increasing heart rate.
Agents that reaplace hormones lost in adrenal insufficiency?
Corticosteroids are used to replace hormones lost in adrenal insufficiency. There are short acting corticosteroids (cortisone and hydrocortisone), intermediate acting corticosteroids (methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisone, traimcinolone), and long acting corticosteroids (betamethasone, budesonide, and dexamethasone).
Why are you lactating while menstruating?
That would be hormones acting up. Speak to your doctor about it.

Is milk present in humans before pregnancy?
No it is not. Sometimes it can appear when hormones are acting wrong.
What is a slow-acting body control system?
The slow acting control system of the body is the Endocrine system. It is responsible for producing and releasing hormones into the blood.
Why does my boyfriend of 15 years have to look at half-nakedwomen?
His hormones are flaring and he is acting on his human urges
Is dopamine a vasoconstrictor?
its depend upon the dosage of dopamine given via iv2 to 5microgram/kg/min called renal dosage it binds to D1 receptor which causes dilation of blood vessel,increasing blood flow to the renal ,mesenteric and coronary arteries5 to10 microgram/kg/min have positive inotropic and chronotropic effect by acting on beta1 receptor on heart10 to 20 microgram/kg/min causes vasoconstriction by acting on alpha1 receptor
