Words similar to receptor-regulated
Example sentences for: receptor-regulated
How can you use “receptor-regulated” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
TGFβ signals through a heteromeric receptor complex of type II and type I receptor serine-threonine kinases, which activates the downstream Smad signal transduction pathway [ 7 ] . After TGFβ binding to the receptor complex, the TGFβ type II receptor kinase phosphorylates TGFβ type I receptor which inititates the downstream response by phosphorylating receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads), such as Smad2 and Smad3.
Three such BMP type I receptor-regulated Smads, Smad1, 5 and 8, have been identified [ 9 ] . Among them, Smad1 has been studied most extensively.
Similarly, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are intracellular calcium release channels involved in diverse signaling pathways and are required for the activation of T lymphocytes [ 33 ] . Tat (also implicated as a neurotoxin) has been shown to release calcium from inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor-regulated stores in neurons and astrocytes causing premature apoptosis [ 34 ] . Down-regulation of IP3 may therefore contribute to viral latency and maintenance of an anti-apoptotic state in cells.
