Definitions |
MembraneReceptor is a CBO:CellMembranePart that is a protein embedded in the CellMembrane that interacts with extracellular Molecules. Binding (or occupancy) of the receptor results in a signal to the Cell. A protein Molecule (or assembly of proteins) that is permanently attached or firmly anchored in the plasma membrane via its hydrophobic domains interacting with the membrane phospholipids which can transfer information from the Cell exterior to its interior. |
