Receptors, Cell Surface MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Receptors, Cell Surface
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.543.750
Unique ID
D011956
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011956
Annotation
general or unspecified; prefer specifics; coord IM with specific endogenous substance (IM); for hormone receptors in general coord HORMONES (IM) and RECEPTORS, CELL SURFACE (IM) or RECEPTORS, CYTOPLASMIC AND NUCLEAR (IM), for receptors of specific hormones, coord specific hormone or hormone group (IM) and precoord hormone receptor (e.g., RECEPTORS, ALDOSTERONE) (IM) or precoord hormone-group receptor (e.g., RECEPTORS, GLUCOCORTICOID) (IM)
Scope Note
Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
