Document Summary

Cells responds to only a few of the many signals it receives. Type of receptors each cell makes is genetically determined. Two types of ligands: cytoplasmic receptors, plasma membrane receptors. Receptors that are proteins that act as gates for signals. Let some molecules in, but not all of them. Some receptor proteins will become kinases (or enzymes) when activated. Are enzymes that lead to phosphorylation of that protein. When insulin molecules bind to insulin portions, causes change in shape to receptor protein. Leads to atp being used to phosphorylate a protein. Proteins with seven regions that pass through lipid bilayer. There is a ligand that will bind on the outside of the cell. G protein has a binding side for gtp. Gtp = alternate energy molecule as opposed to atp. Gtp bound subunit seperates and moves along the membrane until it finds and effector protein. Effector protein may catalyze many reactions, amplifying the signal.
