What characteristic is true for both RTKs and GPCRs?
A) The receptor binds to intracellular proteins only when activated.
B) When activated, the receptor has enzymatic activity.
C) The receptor transmits ions.
D) The receptor undergoes a conformational change on activation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both RTKs and GPCRs undergo a conformational change when activated, which triggers downstream signaling pathways. RTKs do not bind intracellular proteins and do not transmit ions, while GPCRs do not have enzymatic activity.
