What neurotransmitters bind to?

There are two receptors that neurotransmitters interact with: ligand-gated receptors or ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors or metabotropic receptors depending on the neurotransmitter (the ligand). When the ligand binds with the neurotransmitter receptor it causes a sequence of chemical reactions to relay signals.Brought to you by altogenlabs.com


What is ligand-dependent?

Ligand-dependent refers to a biological process or activity that is regulated or influenced by the binding of a ligand molecule to a specific receptor or protein. This binding interaction can trigger a signaling cascade that leads to a cellular response. Examples include hormone receptors and neurotransmitter receptors.


What is a molecule such as a neurotransmitter or a hormone that binds to a receptor called?

A molecule such as a neurotransmitter or hormone that binds to a receptor is called a ligand. This binding triggers a biological response in the target cell, influencing its function.


Function membrane receptor at chemical synapse?

Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.


The same receptor can have different effects depending on the properties of the?

ligand that binds to it. For example, a receptor can trigger different signaling pathways or cellular responses if it binds to different ligands, even if they bind to the same binding site on the receptor. This is known as ligand-dependent receptor activation.


What neurotransmitter control the somatic nervous system and how does it work?

Acetylcholine (ACh) is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system. It works by binding to acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle fibers and opening ligand-gated sodium channels in the cell membrane.

What are holes in the surface of the dendrites or certain cells of the muscles and glands that are shaped to fit only certain neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitter receptor sites on ligand-gated ion pores.


What is ligand gated ion channel?

Ionotropic receptors are ligand-gated or transmitter gated ion channels. The binding of a neurotransmitter or other ligand to a particular site on a domain of a protein in the receptor causes a conformational change in the protein subunits. This allows a certain ion to pass through, poteitally potassium, sodium or chloride. There are two types of ionotropic receptors, non-NMDA and NMDA. Both are ligand gated receptors, however the NMDA is also voltage gated.


When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels the neurotransmitter is serving as which part of the signal pathway?

The neurotransmitter functions as the ligand that binds to the receptor on the neuron's membrane, causing a conformational change that opens the ion channels. This allows ions to flow into or out of the neuron, resulting in a change in its membrane potential and ultimately transmitting the signal.
