Give examples of G-protein-linked receptors
Explain Tyrosine enzymes kinase linked receptors
Give example of tyrosine enzyme kinase linked receptor
Insulin receptors
Where is the intracellular receptor located
Inside the cell either in the cytoplasm or directly on the DNA
Intracellular receptors are needed for what
They regulate transcription of genes in the nucleus or the mitochondria
What are the two important features of intracellular receptors
Give examples for intracellular receptors
