signal transduction

What Are the Major Types of Receptors Involved?

Receptors can be classified into several types:
G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs): These receptors interact with G-proteins to transmit signals.
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs): These receptors possess intrinsic kinase activity that phosphorylates specific tyrosine residues.
Ion Channel Receptors: These receptors allow the flow of ions across the cell membrane.
Intracellular Receptors: Located within the cell, these receptors typically bind to steroid hormones.
