What protein floats in the cell membrane and receives hormonal signals sent from other cells?

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.

Which type of protein plays an important role in transmitting signals in the nervous system?
ion channel membrane proteins
Are proteins found in the cell membrane?
There are many uses for proteins in a cell membrane but the most common ones are: 1. Facilitated diffusion- a protein acts almost like a channel to allow molecules that cannot fit across the phospholipid bilayer to diffuse into/out of the cell 2. Active transport- proteins are used to move particles across the membrane from low to high concentration, using energy. 3. As receptor molecules which take signals from things like hormones.
What part of the neuron receives most of the incoming signals from other neurons?
dendrite
How specific protein can be detected in western blot?
Specific proetins can be detected by its specific mono clonal antibody. Primary antibodies specifically binds to the proetins on the membrane. Secondary antibody interact with primary antibody and signals its presence by chemiluminescence.
What is the functions of protein in the cell membrane?
It sends signals between the cells external and internal environment.
Membrane protein used to receive signals?
Receptors are proteins on the cell membrane that are used to receive signals
Which type of protein plays an important role in transmitting signals in the nervous system?
ion channel membrane proteins
What is antenna role in space communication?
it receives signals and sends out signals
What receives signals from the hypothalamus?
Fuhhkin cows
What receives or transmits radio signals?

What does an antenna do?
Radiates and/or receives radio signals.
Structure neurons that receives electrical signals?
Dendrites
How does a satellite dish receive signal?
it receives it by signals
What part is a neuron receives signals?
dendrite
What is a cell that can receive and transmit signals?
Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)
Is the cell meembrane capable of receiving and recognizing chemical signals?
Yes, the cell membrane is actually what receives and recognizes different chemical signals, then it creates other chemicals to let a specific part of the cell to do something.
What does a cellular phone transceiver unit do?
receives and transmits signals
