In addition to hormone receptors, sensory systems such as vision (Chapter 39, Fig. 39.4), taste and smell use similar mechanisms of cell-surface membrane receptor-coupled signal transduction (see Table 38.1). Some of these receptors, for example the β-adrenergic receptors (see Fig. 38.2) or the antigen receptors on lymphocytes, have no intrinsic catalytic activity and serve simply as specific recognition units. These receptors use a variety of mechanisms, including adaptor molecules or catalytically active regulatory molecules such as G-proteins (guanosine triphosphatases, GTPases, which hydrolyze GTP), to couple them to their effector signaling elements, which are generally enzymes (often called signaling enzymes or signal transducers) or ion channels (Fig. 38.3). In contrast, other receptors - such as the intrinsic tyrosine kinase receptors for growth factors (e.g. platelet-derived growth factor, PDGF) or the intrinsic serine kinase receptors for molecules like transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) - have extracellular ligand-binding domains and cytoplasmic catalytic domains. Thus, after receptor-ligand interactions (receptor ligation), these receptors can directly initiate their signaling cascades by phosphorylating and modulating the activities of target signal-transducing molecules (downstream signaling enzymes). These in turn propagate the growth factor signal by modulating the activity of further specific signal transducers or transcription factors, leading to gene induction (see Chapter 41).
