For this lateral movenment, cytoskeleat structres are impoitart (for cyroskeieron, see chap l sec I) Number.. life. degradation it should. be understood that since Langtey first speculaied about the existence of a necepror in 1904 and all the late 1960s,the receptors were purely hypothetical substances,,from many rndrect evidences . people inferred that there are receptors but no drect proof was available The picture has changtd now and marry inforrnations about R s are pouring in rapidtl Yet only some discrete date are known and unit the technöogy improve Stll further a comprehensve picture carnot be expected With this background, the folbwings can be noted (i) R s are proteinaceous macro moleciules (ii) in a guen cell the receptoi popularion of a grven species öf R vanes. sometnes it increases. that is, goes up (up regulation) . sometimes it goes down (down regulattion) (iii) R s have a fixed life span (for example the hatf life of insulin R is about 7 hr (iv)after the expiry of lifr the R is degraoea Details The receptor
