They act in cell signaling by receiving (binding to) extracellular molecules. They are specialized integral membrane proteins that allow communication between the cell and the extracellular space.

Nov 23, 2024 · Cell-surface receptors are transmembrane proteins embedded in the plasma membrane of target cells. These receptors consist of an extracellular domain containing the ligand-binding site, …

Jul 23, 2025 · Cell receptors are specialized protein molecules that reside on the surface or within a cell, acting as its communication system. These proteins are designed to receive and respond to …

Feb 2, 2023 · Cell-surface receptors, alternatively known as transmembrane receptors, are membrane-anchored or integral proteins found attached to the external or outer surface of the cell membrane. …

Receptors are protein molecules in the target cell or on its surface that bind ligands. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.

Apr 8, 2024 · While there are many different types of receptors, they can be broadly classified into cell surface receptors and intracellular receptors. This article will discuss the structure and function of the …

Jul 23, 2025 · Without the cell receptors, the cell can’t able to command other cells to do a particular action. In absence of that particular action, some serious trouble will occur to the body.
