In biochemistry and pharmacology, a receptor is a protein molecule usually found inside or on the surface of a cell, that receives chemical signals from outside the cell
a receptor is a protein molecule usually found inside or on the surface of a cell, that receives chemical signals from outside the cell. When such chemical signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response, e.g. change in the electrical activity of the cell. In this sense, a receptor is a protein molecule that recognises and responds to endogenous chemical signals, e.g. the acetylcholine receptor recognised and responds to its endogenous ligand, acetylcholine
