What else can I help you with?
What is an example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracelluar receptor and therby cause a gene to be turned on or off?
An example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracellular receptor and regulate gene expression is cortisol. Cortisol binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, forming a complex that can then bind to specific DNA sequences and regulate the transcription of target genes, leading to a variety of cellular responses.
What Cellular acetylcholine receptor is found in effector organs of the parasympathetic system?
The M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is the primary receptor found in effector organs of the parasympathetic system. Activation of this receptor leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase and decreased intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, resulting in various physiological responses in target tissues.
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
What is an example of a signal molecule that can bind to an intracellular receptor and thereby cause a gene to be turned on or off?
One example is the steroid hormone cortisol. Cortisol can diffuse across the cell membrane and bind to intracellular receptors called glucocorticoid receptors. This complex can then enter the nucleus and regulate the expression of specific genes, turning them on or off.
What type of receptors is within a cell?
Intracellular receptors. They are receptor proteins found on the inside of the cell, typically in the cytoplasm or nucleus
Complete the flowchart describing the interaction of cortisol with intracellular receptors?
If you're using MasteringBiology on this then look at the third hint and you'll be able to figure it out. Seriously, look at the third hint if you can to better understand it. It includes pictures. If you can't or are just too lazy to, here's what I got: 1) Cortisol passes through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm. 2) Cortisol-receptor complex forms in the cytoplasm. 3) Cortisol-receptor complex enters the nucleus where it binds to genes. 4) Cortisol-receptor complex acts as a transcription factor. 5) The transcribed mRNA is translated into a specific protein.

What is cordisole?
Cortisol? Cortisol is the "stress" hormone found in people and usually is highest during early day hours.
Where are receptor proteins found?
In the cell membrane.

What is a cannabinoid receptor?
A cannabinoid receptor is any of several receptors, found in the central nervous system, which bind to cannabinoids.
Where are most receptor proteins found?
In the cell membrane.
What is found in or on a hormone's target cell?
Hormone receptor
Where are Receptor sites on a neuron primarily found?
dendrites only
What is the sensory receptors for smell?
The olfactory receptor is found in the nose.
