How do Exogenous Ligands Interact with Cellular Receptors?
Exogenous ligands can interact with a variety of receptors such as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and nuclear receptors. When these ligands bind to their corresponding receptors, they can trigger a cascade of intracellular events leading to various cellular responses. This process is crucial in understanding drug actions and toxicological effects in histology.
