which is coming down your nerve
-
and convert it into a muscle contraction work this way,
-
so 'neuro' nerve, muscle junctions act
-
based on ligand-gated ion channels.
-
Another family is called the G-protein coupled receptor.
-
It's called the G-protein coupled receptor because it's a receptor,
-
like the one shown here,
-
that's coupled to a special molecule called a G-protein.
-
When the ligand is present it binds to the receptor outside the cell
-
and it activates this G-protein.
-
The G-protein then goes on
-
to create some other biochemical changes inside the cell.
