Receptor dimerization is the joining of the receptor proteins. It this step does not take place, then the responder protein will not autophosphorylate. Signal transduction will not occur if the receptor proteins do not join together.
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are membrane receptors that undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation upon ligand binding. This activation leads to the recruitment and activation of downstream signaling molecules in the cell.
The activation of receptor tyrosine kinases involves ligand binding to the extracellular domain, leading to receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues on the intracellular domain. This activation initiates downstream signaling cascades involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
Receptor tyrosine kinases, when activated by ligand binding, undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues. This promotes the recruitment and activation of downstream signaling molecules, ultimately leading to a cellular response such as cell growth, differentiation, or survival.
Tyrosine kinases are present in the membrane as separate entities that are able to dimerize with one another when bound to a ligand...for this reason most TK ligands are multivalent (thus can bind multiple TK's and cluster them with the ability to dimerize for activation...a dimer is simply two TK's together. I suppose I would need a better understanding of what you mean by the latter part of the question. Receptors can be influenced by polymorphisms (different "formula" variations that are expressed in populations which influence binding...Ex replacing a neutral amino acid with a positive affects binding correct?....As far as dimerization as it relates to drug design I must first confess that I'm not a pharmacologist... however my guess would be that they would want to make their products multivalent so that they bind multiple TK's so that they are able to dimerize...(this is merely a guess)
Important tissue receptor tumor markers include estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer; epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in lung cancer; and the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. These markers help guide treatment decisions and predict response to targeted therapies.

1. Insulin binding to insulin receptor tyrosine kinase on hepatocyte: increased glucose uptake, increased glycogen and fatty acid production and decreased catabolism in general (decreased gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis). Insulin binding causes receptor dimerization and self-phosphorylation. Phosphorylated receptor recruits scaffold proteins and downstream target proteins and phosphorylate them. Phosphorylated target proteins serve as kinases and activate or deactivate other proteins by phosphorylation, effecting appropriate effects. 2. Erythropoietin binding to EPO cytokine receptor on Common Myeloid Progenitor cell: eventual differentiation into erythrocyte. Cytokine receptor induces the Jak/STAT pathway resulting in altered gene expression by transcription factors, drastically changing the function and morphology of the cell.

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)
The Macula is the receptor for static equilibrium.
Intracellular receptor
What receptor is stimulated by aromatherapy
It is called a receptor protein.
