Analysis of Cell Surface Receptor Lab

cell-surface glycoproteins, lectin, oligosaccharide chains

The receptors for lectins are __-__ __ and the __ bind specifically to the __ __

chemical signaling between

Cell surface receptors are involved in __ __ __ cells

extracellular ligand binding, intracellular ligand-binding, tyrosinase kinase, extracellular, cellular responses, physiology

Cell surface receptors have an __ __-__ domain and an __ __-__ domain that is either associated with heterotrimeric G-protein or itself has a __ __ activity. In either case, binding of a hormone to the __ domain will activate a set of __ __ that will ultimately result in the alteration of the cell’s __

specificity, tertiary

Much of the __ of cell-surface receptors is derived from the __ structure of the peptide itself.

ligand binding specificity, restricting mobility

Possible functions of the oligosaccharide “decorations” on the extracellular domain might include contributing to __ __ __ or __ __ of the receptor protein within the cell membrane.

composition, attached oligosaccharide chains

One way to characterize membrane receptor proteins is to determine the __ of the __ __ __

purification, protein

One possible advantage of learning the oligosaccharide makeup of a protein would be as an aid in __ of the __ for further study,
