Effect of Spatial Inhomogeneities on the Membrane Surface on Receptor Dimerization and Signal Initiation
Important signal transduction pathways originate on the plasma membrane, where microdomains may transiently entrap diffusing receptors. This results in a non-random distribution of receptors even in the resting state, which can be visualized as “clusters” by high resolution imaging methods. Here, we...
