Basic Knowledge and Types Of Receptors

Receptors are macromolecules which play a vital role in chemical signalling within and between cells. Receptors can be found on the surface of a cell membrane or deep within the cytoplasm. The cellular Biochemical processes are controlled by activated receptors directly or indirectly for example ion conductance, protein phosphorylation, DNA Transcription, and Enzymatic activity.
