Introduction The cell surface is the outermost layer of the cell that interacts with the external environment. It is a dynamic and complex structure composed of various biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. The cell surface plays a crucial role in communication between cells and their environment, and this communication is mediated by cell surface receptors. Cell surface receptors are transmembrane proteins that bind to specific molecules in the extracellular environment and transmit signals to the intracellular environment to elicit cellular responses. In this tutorial, we will explore the different types of cell surface receptors, their functions, and the ... Read More
