receptortyp
receptortyp is a German-language term that translates to "receptor type" in English. It refers to the classification of receptors, which are protein molecules that receive and transduce signals in cells. Receptors are crucial for a wide range of biological processes, including cell communication, growth, and function.
Receptors can be broadly categorized based on their location within the cell or their signaling mechanism.
Another common classification is based on the type of signal they detect. These include ligand-gated ion channels,
