What is receptor expression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surface receptors: Each cell has a membrane surface with numerous different proteins that can interact with other signals- proteins or small molecules like hormones- producing reactions within the cell. The nucleus and other parts of the cell control what receptors are present on the surface and how many. This is the biologic machinery and communication network of all biologic systems.
