Students have asked these similar questions
The same signal can have different effects in different cells because there
a. are different receptor subtypes that initiate different signal transduction pathways.
b. may be different coactivators in different cells.
c. may be different target proteins in different cells’ signal transduction pathways.
d. All of the choices are correct.
All cells of a multicellular organism may not respond in the same wayto a particular ligand (signaling molecule) that binds to a cell surfacereceptor. The difference in response may be due toa. the type of receptor for the ligand that the cell expresses.b the affinity of the ligand for the receptor in a given cell type.c. the type of signal transduction pathways that the cell expresses.d. the type of target proteins that the cell expresses.e. all of the above.
