Paired receptors: Paired receptors are pairs or clusters of receptor proteins that bind to extracellular ligands but have opposing activating and inhibitory signaling effects. Traditionally, paired receptors are defined as homologous pairs with similar extracellular domains and different cytoplasmic regions, whose genes ...

Juxtacapillary receptors: Juxtacapillary receptors, J-receptors, or pulmonary C-fiber receptors are sensory nerve endings located within the alveolar walls in juxtaposition to the pulmonary capillaries of the lung, and are innervated by fibers of the vagus nerve. Although their functional role ... [100%] 2023-12-20 [Neurons] [Respiratory physiology]...
Anaphylatoxin receptors: The anaphylatoxin receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind anaphylatoxins. Members of this family include. (Biology) [100%] 2023-11-16 [G protein-coupled receptors]
CC chemokine receptors: CC chemokine receptors (or beta chemokine receptors) are integral membrane proteins that specifically bind and respond to cytokines of the CC chemokine family. They represent one subfamily of chemokine receptors, a large family of G protein-linked receptors that are ... [81%] 2023-03-07 [Chemokine receptors] [Cell biology]...
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), a key player in neuronal communication, converts neurotransmitter binding into membrane electrical depolarization. This protein combines binding sites for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and a cationic transmembrane ion channel. [81%] 2021-12-24 [Neuroscience] [Multiple_Curators]...
Pulmonary stretch receptors: Pulmonary stretch receptors are mechanoreceptors found in the lungs. When the lung expands, the receptors initiate the Hering-Breuer reflex, which reduces the respiratory rate. [81%] 2024-01-02 [Respiratory physiology] [Sensory receptors]...
