ERBB receptors are regulated by their own intrinsic properties as well as by external associated proteins. What is regulation, where does it occur on the receptor, and how do scientists study it?

The ERBB receptors are a group of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) involved in key cellular functions including cell growth and survival. What are the activation mechanisms particular to ERBBs?

H2 receptor blockers are drugs that are used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. This drug is effective, cheap, and safe for relieving heartburn. It is available by ...

The human olfactory system discriminates between thousands of odours by interacting specifically with olfactory receptors on ...

One avenue for this ambition is cell receptors, which function like ignition slots on a cell, requiring keys—such as specific hormones, drugs, or antigens—to start up specific cellular activities.

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

In a series of studies using mouse and human neurons, the researchers discovered a new receptor for nerve growth factor: neuropilin-1 (NRP1), a protein expressed in neurons and other cell types.
