Receptor internalization is the process by which cell surface expressed receptors are monoubiquitinated following ligand-induced activation, and subsequently taken up into the endocytic vesicles to the lysosome. The receptor will either be degraded or brought back to cell membrane were it is again able to interact with its ligands. Receptor internalization serves as a mechanism to downregulate receptor signaling upon agonistic ligand stimulation.

What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?

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.

How long does receptor activation take?

Receptor activation can happen within milliseconds to seconds when a ligand binds to the receptor, triggering a conformational change. The time it takes for the receptor to fully activate and initiate downstream signaling pathways can vary depending on the specific receptor and the cellular context.
