Age-related changes in membrane receptor interactions.
The relevance of membrane receptor systems to aging in animals has been studied extensively. A large number of hormones, drugs, and transmitters convey their signals via membrane receptors. Many physiologic and biochemical processes are mediated via membrane receptors. Therefore, exploration of the age-related changes in the interactions of receptors with coupling proteins second-messenger systems and their surrounding environments are of obvious significance.
