    Study Notes

    Receptor Location and Function

    • Cell surface receptors are a type of receptors located on the outer membrane of cells.

    GABA Function

    • GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) inhibits the electrical activity of neurons, acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

    Receptor Classification

    • Receptors can be classified based on their mechanism of action, binding site, and functional response, but NOT based on their molecular weight.

    Receptor Composition

    • Receptors are typically composed of proteins, often with specific binding sites for molecules such as neurotransmitters, hormones, or other signaling molecules.

    Receptor Action

    • Receptors receive and transduce signals, converting extracellular signals into intracellular responses, allowing cells to respond to changes in their environment.
