Words similar to receptors
Example sentences for: receptors
How can you use “receptors” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission between neurons because the receptors and the ion channel form one complex.
For example, growth factor-induced localization of actin mRNA to the leading edge of fibroblasts is a dynamic, regulated process requiring actomyosin interactions and activation of the RhoGTPase pathway, as well as specific signal sequences in the 3' UTR of the message [ 9 10 11 12 ] . Moreover, disruption of the actin cytoskeleton using pharmacological agents also blocks the association of β-actin mRNA with microfilaments and prevents localization of the transcript to the cell periphery [ 7 13 ] . Mechanical forces exerted on cell surface integrin receptors, which anchor the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix, also produce changes in the localization of poly(A) mRNA and ribosomal proteins inside the cell [ 14 ] . Importantly, the localization of transcripts can serve as a key regulatory step in gene expression as inhibition of mRNA targeting can significantly impact cell function.
Enhancement of IL-6 production by dexamethasone treatment has been previously observed in Kaposi's sarcoma cells [ 32 ] . In the case of NRP-154 cells, the steroid-responsive element for dexamethasone on the IL-6 promoter may have been mutated to a form that does not bind steroid receptors.
The signaling pathways of TRAIL and its receptors are not fully known [ 50 ] ; however, recent studies suggest TRAIL activates pathways similar to those activated by TNF and its receptors [ 49 ] . Binding of TRAIL to death-domain containing receptors can cause apoptosis via activation of caspase-8 in Jurkat and HeLa cells [ 46 49 ] .
These results demonstrated that removal of heparin/HS from the cell cultures decreased the PEDF binding to receptors on Y-79 cells.
