Question

In which of the following are receptor and transduction mechanisms contained within the same protein?

A. G-protein coupled receptors.
B. Enzyme-linked receptors.
C. Intracellular receptors.
D. Ligand-gated ion channels.

Answer 1

Enzyme-linked receptors contain both receptor and transduction mechanisms within the same protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The receptor and transduction mechanisms contained within the same protein are found in the Enzyme-linked receptors. These receptors have an extracellular domain that binds to the ligand and an intracellular domain that acts as an enzyme and gets activated upon ligand binding. When the enzyme domain is activated, it initiates a signaling cascade within the cell.
