There are three bone morphogenetic protein receptors in humans:
Neurotransmitters produce most of their biological effect by binding to the active site of a protein receptor.
Neuropilin is a protein receptor active in neurons.
Morphogens typically act through binding to specific protein receptors.
The researchers said the b gene provides the blueprint for protein receptors that bind with vitamin D hormone.
The researchers then sequenced the gene and found that it made a protein receptor that straddles the rice cell membrane.
Proteins on the bacteria surface can interact with protein receptors on the host thereby affecting signal transduction within the cell.
Most docking programs in use account for a flexible ligand, and several attempt to model a flexible protein receptor.
That seemed to be the explanation for the mouse's obesity - the rodent's protein receptor was deformed.
The protein receptor encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily.
