Receptor proteins in lymphocytes serve as critical components of the immune response by recognizing specific antigens, which are foreign molecules that trigger an immune reaction. These receptors, such as B cell receptors (BCRs) and T cell receptors (TCRs), bind to antigens with high specificity, initiating signaling pathways that lead to lymphocyte activation, proliferation, and differentiation. This process enables lymphocytes to identify and respond to pathogens, contributing to adaptive immunity.

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.
The job of a receptor protein is to receive chemical signals from outside the cell.
The transport of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane would be least affected by defective receptor proteins. This is because transport proteins, not receptor proteins, are primarily responsible for moving molecules across the cell membrane.
