Down-regulation refers to the process by which a cell decreases the number of receptors on its surface in response to high levels of a specific signaling molecule. This reduces the cell's sensitivity to the signaling molecule.
Receptor fits in at least three different disciplines, including:"Sensory receptor, in physiology, any structure which, on receiving environmental stimuli, produces an informative nerve impulse"Receptor (biochemistry), in biochemistry, a protein molecule that receives and responds to a neurotransmitter, or other substance"Immune receptor, a special case of biochemical receptor that occurs on the surface of immunocytes and binds to antigens."Follow the link, below, to the Wikipedia Receptor disambiguation page.
A receptor molecule is a molecule that receives information from outside the cell. They are embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell. A specific molecule on the surface or inside of a cell with a characteristic chemical and physical structure. Many neurotransmitters and hormones exert their effects by binding to receptors on cells.
Not all receptors can be located inside the cell because some receptors need to be on the cell surface to interact with molecules outside the cell, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. These external molecules cannot pass through the cell membrane to reach receptors inside the cell.
Hormones typically bind to specific protein receptors located on the surface of target cells. These receptors are responsible for initiating a signaling pathway within the cell in response to the hormone binding, leading to specific cellular responses.
Neutralization
Yes, surface receptors are made of protein units in cells.
Down-regulation refers to the process by which a cell decreases the number of receptors on its surface in response to high levels of a specific signaling molecule. This reduces the cell's sensitivity to the signaling molecule.
Growth hormone is water soluble. It is a protein hormone that circulates in the blood and interacts with cell surface receptors to exert its effects on growth and metabolism.

A receptor is a protein molecule on a cell surface or within a cell that binds to specific molecules, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, initiating a cellular response. Receptors play a crucial role in cellular communication and response to signals from the environment.
Cell surface receptors, such as G-protein coupled receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, and ligand-gated ion channels, are responsible for converting extracellular signals into intracellular ones. These receptors can initiate various downstream signaling pathways that ultimately regulate cellular responses.
Yes, phagocytosis involves specific membrane receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on the surface of phagocytic cells. These receptors recognize and bind to specific molecular patterns on the surface of pathogens or foreign particles, triggering the engulfment and destruction of the target.
The influenza virus binds to its host cells through a carbohydrate molecule called sialic acid, which is present on the surface of the host cell receptors. The virus recognizes and binds to this sialic acid molecule to initiate the infection process.
