Oberflächenrezeptor
Oberflächenrezeptor is a German term that translates to "surface receptor" in English. It refers to a type of protein molecule that is embedded in the surface of a cell membrane. These receptors play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and in the cell's response to its environment.
Surface receptors have a specific three-dimensional structure that allows them to bind to particular molecules, known
The binding of a ligand to a surface receptor is often described as a lock-and-key mechanism, where
Surface receptors are involved in a vast array of biological processes. They mediate processes such as cell
