title: Receptor signaling: dimerization and beyond.
abstract: It is has been proposed that hormone receptors which have only a single transmembrane sequence mediate signaling via hormone-induced monomer-to-dimer transitions. But recent studies of analogous receptors in bacteria indicate that dimerization may be only a prerequisite for signaling.
