Verified
G protein-linked receptors are transmembrane proteins that convert an extracellular hormone signal into an intracellular signal that affects certain cell processes.
G Protein-Linked Receptors
A large family of cell surface receptors that, when activated by a ligand, initiate a signal transduction pathway involving G proteins.
Transmembrane Proteins
Proteins that span the entire lipid bilayer of a cell membrane, involved in various functions such as signal transduction and transportation of substances.
Intracellular Signal
A form of communication within cells where signals are transmitted to elicit a specific response.
