Abstract excerpt
Extracellular signals are transmitted to cells through two classes of cell-surface receptors: signaling receptors that directly transduce signals and signaling co-receptors that bind ligand but that, traditionally, have not been thought to signal directly. Signaling co-receptors modulate the ligand binding and signaling of their respective signaling receptors. In recent years, roles for co-receptors have expanded...
