Receptors

Some articles on receptors, receptor:

Hexamethonium - Pharmacology
... It can act on receptors at pre-ganglionic sites in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which are both regulated by nicotinic ligand-gated ionotropic ... sympathetic systems are usually regulated by norepinephrine (noradrenaline) (adrenergic receptors), whereas parasympathetic systems are acetylcholine-based, and instead rely on muscarinic ...
Chemokine - Receptors - Signal Transduction
... Chemokine receptors associate with G-proteins to transmit cell signals following ligand binding ... Activation of G proteins, by chemokine receptors, causes the subsequent activation of an enzyme known as phospholipase C (PLC) ... the avidity of cell adhesion molecules called integrins within the cell harbouring the chemokine receptor ...
Penbutolol
... Penbutolol is able to bind to both beta-1 adrenergic receptors and beta-2 adrenergic receptors (the two subtypes), thus making it a non-selective β blocker ... allowing it to act as a partial agonist at β adrenergic receptors. 5-HT1A receptors are activated by serotonin, which have many different actions in different species ...
Flexibility (anatomy) - Anatomical Elements of Flexibility - Stretch Receptors
... Stretch receptors have two parts Spindle cells and Golgi tendons ... On the other hand, Golgi tendon receptors are located near the end of a muscle fiber and send messages for the muscle to relax ... As these receptors are trained through continual use, stretching becomes easier ...
Disintegrin - Operation
... with the beta-1 and -3 families of integrins receptors ... Integrins are cell receptors involved in cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions, serving as the final common pathway leading to ... that binds specifically to integrin IIb-IIIa receptors on the platelet surface, thereby blocking the binding of fibrinogen to the receptor–glycoprotein complex of activated platelets ...

Famous quotes containing the word receptors:

    Our talk of external things, our very notion of things, is just a conceptual apparatus that helps us to foresee and control the triggerings of our sensory receptors in the light of previous triggering of our sensory receptors.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
