CHAPTER 24 Plasma Membrane Receptors Cells use about 20 different families of receptor proteins to detect and respond to the myriad of incoming chemical and physical stimuli (Appendix 24-1). Most receptors are plasma membrane proteins that interact with chemical ligands or are stimulated by physical events such as light absorption. A few chemical stimuli, including steroid hormones and the gas nitric oxide, cross the plasma membrane and bind receptors inside the cell. Figure 24-1 sixteen classes of receptors with signal transduction mechanisms.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRâs): these are the largest of all the cell surface receptors. They activate membrane-bound, trimeric GTP binding proteins (G-proteins) which then activate either an enzyme or an ion channel (effector) in the plasma membrane, initiating a sequence of other effects.ell surface receptors are responsible for the binding of an extracellular signalling molecule and transduction of its messages into one or more intracellular signalling molecules, which changes the cellâs behaviour. A cell surface receptor exists intrinsically embedded in the plasma membrane.
