coreceptor

As nouns the difference between counterreceptor and coreceptor

is that counterreceptor is (biochemistry) a material that binds with, and tethers a receptor on the surface of a cell while coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.

As nouns the difference between terms and coreceptor

is that terms is while coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.

As nouns the difference between coreceptor and syndecan

is that coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell while syndecan is any of a class of single transmembrane domain proteins thought to act as coreceptors, especially for g protein-coupled receptors.

As nouns the difference between pathogen and coreceptor

is that pathogen is any organism or substance, especially a microorganism, capable of causing disease, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi. Microorganisms are not considered to be pathogenic until they have reached a population size that is large enough to cause disease while coreceptor is a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.

As nouns the difference between ligand and coreceptor

is that ligand is ligand while coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.

As nouns the difference between signaling and coreceptor

is that signaling is (biochemistry) the sending of a biochemical signal while coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.

As a verb signaling

is .

As nouns the difference between receptor and coreceptor

is that receptor is (biochemistry|medicine) a protein on a cell wall that binds with specific molecules so that they can be absorbed into the cell in order to control certain functions while coreceptor is (molecular biology) a cell surface receptor that binds a signaling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate a biological process, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.
