Difference between Cell signaling and Cell surface receptor

Cell signaling vs. Cell surface receptor

Cell signaling (cell signalling in British English) is part of any communication process that governs basic activities of cells and coordinates all cell actions. Cell surface receptors (membrane receptors, transmembrane receptors) are receptors that are embedded in the membranes of cells.

Similarities between Cell signaling and Cell surface receptor

Cell signaling and Cell surface receptor have 27 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Cell (biology), Cell membrane, Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, Cytokine, Cytoplasm, Enzyme, Epidermal growth factor, Epidermal growth factor receptor, Extracellular, Glycoprotein, Growth factor, Hormone, Ion channel, Kinase, Ligand (biochemistry), Lipid bilayer, Neuromodulation, Neuron, Neurotransmitter, Peptide, Pheromone, Phosphorylation, Protein, Receptor (biochemistry), Second messenger system, Signal transduction.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Epidermal growth factor receptor

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB-1; HER1 in humans) is a transmembrane protein that is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF family) of extracellular protein ligands.

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.
