receptor proteins
It will only respond if it has a receptor for that signal
It sends signals between the cells external and internal environment.
Integral proteins can be receptors, but not all integral proteins are. Therefore you cannot use the terms integral and receptor interchangeably. Integral proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane, and span the width (go from one side to the other). Receptor proteins are found on the surface of a cell and receive signals from other cells or the environment.
Integral Proteins float freely within the bilayer of the cell membrane. They are usually transmembrane proteins, extending through the lipid bilayer. One end is in contact with the interior of the cell while the other remains in contact with the exterior. These are the only proteins that can perform functions both inside and outside the cell.
There are four functions of proteins within the cell membrane. The four functions of proteins are active transport, cell recognition, cell communications, and are used as enzymes in the cell membrane.

Membrane proteins serve a range of important purposes, such as helping cells to communicate, maintain their shape, carry out changes triggered by chemical messengers, and transport and share material. Hopefully this answered your question!
membrane
Channel proteins, a type of transport proteins to the cells, move molecules from outside of the membrane to the inside
The plasma membrane separates the interior of cells from the outside environment. The function of this membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. The membrane proteins provide many functions that is vital for survival of the organism. These proteins may act as a membrane receptor and relay signals between the cells internal and external environments. Also transporting proteins by moving molecules and ions across the membrane.
They allow Cells to communicate with other Cells.

Neurons are the cells that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells in the body. They are the primary cells of the nervous system responsible for transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals.
