[Receptor and disease: genetic perspective].

Abstract excerpt

Cells in higher animals communicate with each other using hundreds of kinds signaling molecules. Most of these signaling molecules are secreted from the signaling cell by exocytosis or diffusion. Regardless of the nature of the signal, the target cell responds by a specific protein called a receptor. It specifically binds the signaling molecule and then initiates a response in the target cell. Many genes for...
