Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: Receptors are large protein or glycoproteins that bind with the signaling molecule (ligand). The cells undergo receptor-ligand alterations and initiate the biological response. The ligand molecule binds with the cell surface receptors. G-protein-linked receptor may be monomeric or oligomeric. It belongs to a family of transmembrane proteins that loop back and forth through the plasma membrane for seven times.
