tyrosine kinase receptor.
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.
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.
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)
Receptor proteins are typically membrane proteins, meaning they are located on the cell membrane.

Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

It is called a receptor protein.
