For Receptors we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are Anti-Aging, Cancer, Diabetes, Evolution, Female Health, Fossils and Gaucher Disease.

Receptors (Anti-Aging)

sites on the outside of cells where particular messenger molecules such as hormones can attach. This attachment to the receptor site causes corresponding changes inside the cell.

Receptors (Cancer)

Receivers; a cell or group of cells that receives stimuli. Hormone receptors are present in both normal breast cells and breast cancer cells. Breast cancer cells with estrogen receptors may need estrogen to keep growing.

Receptors (Diabetes)

Areas on the outer part of a cell that allow the cell to join or bind with insulin that is in the blood.See also: Insulin receptors.

Receptors (Evolution)

Proteins that can bind to other specific molecules. Usually on the surface of a cell, receptors often bind to antibodies or hormones.

Receptors (Female Health)

Tiny structures on or within cells that allow hormones, germs and chemicals to bind and trigger changes within the cell.

Receptors (Fossils)

Proteins that can bind to other specific molecules. Usually on the surface of a cell, receptors often bind to antibodies or hormones.

Receptors (Gaucher Disease)

Specialized structures, often on the surface of cells, that recognize molecules for signaling or for transporting into the cell.
