It's not homework...


OK, I'll help you then. Try the first line of the wikipedia page for "cell surface receptors."

What is the importance and the role of cell surface receptors?


In terms of drugs, there are two main types of receptors: extracellular (cell-surface) receptors, and intracellular receptors. What we typically find is that more lipophilic drugs, e.g. steroids, bind to intracellular (perhaps nuclear) receptors, as they can cross cell (surface) membranes more easily. More hydrophilic drugs, e.g. peptides, bind to extracellular receptors as they cannot cross cell membranes as easily as lipophilic drugs.
they recept ****. even i know that and I'm on a construction appreticeship. come on m8

Do you mean 'receive'? :biggrin:

no i mean if it's a 'cell surface receptor' then it must recept things

here we go, off google: '' Cell surface receptors (membrane receptors, transmembrane receptors) are receptors at the surface of a cell (built into its cell membrane) that act in cell signaling by receiving (binding to) extracellular molecule''

so yeah they do recieve stuff or recept stuff.

so basically whattever that things is mate, it's like a letter box yeah and it takes stuff in

Have you found out what a cell surface receptor is yet?
