Fc receptors (FcRs) are a group of glycoproteins that belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily and are classified, like Fc alpha receptors (FcαRs), Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) and Fc epsilon receptors ...

New method marks proteins and reveals the receptors in which neurons are dressed. Where in a nerve cell is a certain receptor protein located? Without an answer to this question, it is difficult to ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown ...

Signal transduction is the term for the process which causes chemical and physical signals to be transmitted within a cell as a series of molecular events. The most common signal transduction process ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have glimpsed never-before-seen details of the human androgen receptor — the protein inside of cells that responds to male-typical hormones ...

Proteins are encoded by genes - however, this information is divided into small coding sections, which are only assembled during a process called splicing. Various combinations are possible, some of ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

An unexpected find shows that sweet-sensing receptors also help epithelial cells in Drosophila larvae stay alive amid proteotoxic stress. While combing through a list of genes that are differently ...
