Intracellular receptor
Intracellular receptors are receptors located inside the cell rather than on its cell membrane. Classic hormones that use intracellular receptors include thyroid and steroid hormones. Examples are the class of nuclear receptors located in the cell nucleus and cytoplasm and the IP3 receptor located on the endoplasmic reticulum. The ligands that bind to them are usually intracellular second messengers like inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and extracellular lipophilic hormones like steroid hormones. Some intracrine peptide hormones also have intracellular receptors.
Examples
- transcription factors
- other
- Sigma1 (neurosteroids)
- IP3 receptor (inositol triphosphate, IP3)
gollark: Anyway, those can't be deployed safely in Chorus City, or at reasonable cost, so *for now* none there will experience the ***Traffic Lights***.
gollark: That was totally a feature.
gollark: It actually stops eventually due to ???, but roughly.
gollark: That was fun.
gollark: Oh yes, the traffic lights lased speeding things.
