Some Types of Physiologic and Drug-Receptor Proteins
Type | Structure | Cellular Location | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
Multisubunit ion channels | Cell surface transmembrane | Acetylcholine (nicotinic) GABA A Glutamate | |
G-protein–coupled receptors | Cell surface transmembrane | Acetylcholine (muscarinic) Alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor proteins Eicosanoids | |
Protein kinases | Cell surface transmembrane | Growth factors Insulin Peptide hormones | |
Transcription factors | Cytoplasm | Steroid hormones Thyroid hormone | |
GABA = gamma-aminobutyric acid; GDP = guanosine diphosphate; GTP = guanosine triphosphate. | |||
