English - English
Any specialized cell or structure that responds to sensory stimuli
A structure on a cell wall that binds with specific molecules so that they can be absorbed into the cell in order to control certain functions
an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation
A sensory nerve ending or organ in a living organism that is sensitive to physical or chemical stimuli
the component of the cell to which the drug binds and through which a chain of biochemical events is initiated Many receptors are proteins located on or within the cell Membrane receptors act as an ion pore and thus change the membrane permeability or may affect cell function by being linked to some intracellular biochemical process and when activated, will stimulate or inhibit some type of intracellular effector such as an enzyme, which than leads to a change in cell function
An exact spot on a nerve cell in the nervous system that receives a specific neurotransmitter It is the "message receiving" part of the nerve
Receptors are nerve endings in your body which react to changes and stimuli and make your body respond in a particular way. the information receptors in our brain. a nerve ending which receives information about changes in light, heat etc and causes the body to react in particular ways
A molecule which produces a response when another molecule ("ligand") is bound to it Receptors can be e g ion channels, tyrosine kinases, G-protein coupled receptors or steroid-binding transport molecules In a pharmacological sense, even enzymes can act as receptors (to drug molecules)
Protein that binds to a ligand at a specific site and initiates a response in the cell
{i} acceptor, receiver, one who takes in; (Anatomy) sensor which receives stimuli (in the nervous system)
A cell component that combines with a drug, hormone, or chemical to alter the function of that cell
A molecule on the surface of a cell that serves as a recognition or binding site for antigens, antibodies or other cellular or immunology components
A structure that can capture a molecule (often of a specific type in a specific orientation) owing to complementary surface shapes, charge distributions, and so forth, without forming a °covalent bond See °dissociation constant
a molecule on the surface of a cell that serves as a recognition or binding site for antigens, antibodies or other cellular or immunologic components
In the nervous system, a site on a nerve cell that receives a specific neurotransmitter; the "message receiver "
A site on the surface of a cell which in a lock and key fashion fits into a complementary site on another cell or protein, as in the binding of an antibody to an antigen
A specialized protein on a cell's surface that binds to substances that effect the activities of the cell Specifically, in a nerve cell, neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the surface of the neuron The binding of a neurotransmitter can have either excitatory or inhibitory effects on the neuron Once a neurotransmitter is bound to a receptor, changes occur within the neuron that can result in the neuron sending messages to other neurons
The species, population, community, habitat, etc that may be exposed to contaminants
Protein that spans the cell membrane, and carry a site capable of specifically recognize a molecule
A binding site located on the membrane of a cell that responds to a specific molecule of substance
This word has two meanings At the cellular level it is a molecule that responds to a chemical signal, such as a synaptic transmitter On a larger scale, a receptor is a sense organ, which may be large (as is the eye) or small (as are terminal branches of axons in the skin)
A molecule on the surface of a cell that can bond only to specific molecules in the surrounding environment; usually used to send a signal or some material through the cell membrane
A specific molecule on the surface or within the cytoplasm of a cell that recognises and binds with other specific molecules, such as the cell molecules that bind with hormone or neurotransmitter molecules and react with other molecules that respond in a specific way
A molecule on the surface of a cell, which a virus binds to Most receptors are types of proteins
a specific protein-binding site on a cell's surface or interior When chemical messengers bind to receptors, various cellular functions are activated or inhibited Many drugs exert their effects by binding to receptors and altering normal cellular communication Viruses enter cells by fusing with receptors on the cell surface, often in conjunction with MHC molecules and/or co-receptors
a protein on a cell's surface that allows the cell to identify antigens
A molecule on the surface of a cell that serves as a recognition or binding site for antigens, antibodies or other cellular or immunological components See also Antibodies; Antigen
-a special arrangement on a cell that recognizes a molecule and interacts with it This allows the molecule to either enter the cell or to stimulate it in a specific way Neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, have receptors that they interact with
a specific protein-binding site on a cell's surface or interior When chemicals bind to receptors, various cellular functions are activated or inhibited Viruses enter cells by fusing with receptors on the cell surface
a cellular structure that is postulated to exist in order to mediate between a chemical agent that acts on nervous tissue and the physiological response
A transmembrane or intracellular protein involved in transmission of a cell signal
