When signals bind to the protein receptors,     it depends if the receptor is found on the nuclear or cell membrane.   genes are turned on or off.   gates open up and then there is a cellular response, such as an action potential.   the receptor changes its shape in order to bind the signal and to function

Cell Signaling

It allows cells to perform various cellular activities, coordinate, and interact with other cells. All cells of an organism receive signals from their environments and respond accordingly. Even the unicellular eukaryotes receive signals secreted by other cells and respond. In the case of yeast, mating takes place by signaling between the yeast cells. Communication by cell signaling in a multicellular organism has become a vast and important part of various fields of biology.
