Receptors: Types & Functions

Find notes here: https://www.nonstopneuron.com/post/re... Explore our entire animation video library at: https://www.nonstopneuron.com/ Video Summary: Receptors receive signals from cells exterior. They have a ligand-binding domain to recognize specific ligand and an effector domain to produce the downstream effect. Receptors for hydrophilic signal molecules are located on the cell membrane and receptors for hydrophobic molecules are located inside the cell. Various types of receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that regulate the opening or closing of the channel. G protein-coupled receptors act through G proteins and ultimately regulate the function of a wide range of enzymes and ion channels. Catalytic receptors mostly activate or inactivate a protein by phosphorylating or dephosphorylating them and Nuclear receptors serve as transcription factors. 🎞 More videos on General Physiology: • Milieu Interieur vs Milieu Exterieur: Milieu Interieur vs Milieu Exterieur:    • Milieu Interieur: the WORLD inside us   • Homeostasis & Negative feedback loop:    • If You Understand This, Physiology Will Be...   • Biological Membrane and Fluid Mosaic Model:    • Biological Membrane and Fluid Mosaic Model   • Phospholipids in Water:    • Phospholipids in Water: How Biological Mem...   • Cell Nucleus:    • The COMMANDER of the Cell: Cell Nucleus   • Endoplasmic Reticulum:    • Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure & Functions   • Golgi Apparatus:    • Golgi Apparatus   • Interesting facts about Protein Synthesis and SecretionL    • 9 INTERESTING FACTS about Protein Synthesi...   • Mitochondria:    • Mitochondria: Structure & Functions   • Interesting facts about Protein Synthesis and SecretionL    • 9 INTERESTING FACTS about Protein Synthesi...   • Why ATPs are called Energy Currency of the Cell:    • Why ATPs are called Energy Currency of the...   • How Physiological Parameters are Controlled?:    • NOBODY TEACHES You This BASIC CONCEPT: How...   • Cell to Cell Communication:    • Cell to Cell Communication || Types of sig...   • Primary vs Secondary Active Transport:    • Primary Active Transport vs Secondary Acti...   ● Follow me at: • Facebook:   / nonstopneuron   • Instagram:   / nonstopneuron   DISCLAIMER: This video is for education purposes only.
