Receptor Superfamilies
... Receptors are protein switches that control biochemical processes in a cell. The switches are turned on through the binding of molecules called ligands. Much as a substrate binds an enzyme to trigger a reaction, a ligand reversibly attaches to a binding site on a receptor protein to activate a cellu ...
