Cytokine Receptor Activation Definition
Cytokine receptor activation involves high-affinity binding of a cytokine-signaling ligand to specific cell surface target receptor proteins. Upon binding, conformational and functional changes take place in the receptor protein. Altered interaction of the ligand-bound receptor induces changes in cellular physiology through modification of the activity of one or more signal transduction pathways.
