Enzyme-linked receptor
An enzyme-linked receptor is a receptor transmembrane protein, where the binding of a extracellular ligand causes enzymatic activity on the intracellular side.
Examples of the enzymatic activity include:
- Receptor tyrosine kinase, as in fibroblast growth factor receptor. Most enzyme-linked receptors are of this type.[1]
- Serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, as in bone morphogenetic protein
- Guanylate cyclase, as in atrial natriuretic factor receptor
