| receptor protein |
A substance that lets a cell recognize a chemical messenger. Receptors and chemical messengers, such as hormones, work like a lock and key. The key is the hormone and the lock is the receptor. A receptor will only link up with a chemical that has a certain shape that allows it to bind to the receptor.
