Which type of receptor undergoes a conformational change upon ligand binding, leading to activation of G proteins?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Metabotropic receptors
💡 Explanation:
Metabotropic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that undergo a conformational change upon ligand binding, activating G proteins and initiating downstream signaling cascades.
