Read Signal Reception and the Initiation of Transduction.  Recognize a shift in terminology;
neurophysiologists studied neuroreceptors independent of biologists working on enzymes,
and this has resulted in different terminology while the processes are the same.  Notice

Read about four classes of receptors.

• G-Protein-Linked Recepotrs
• Tyrosine-Kinase Receptors
• Ion-Channel Receptors
• Intracellular Receptors
