cell surface molecules that facilitate cell-to-cell signaling; they also play a major role in determining cellular movement and migration |
| receptors |
cell-surface glycoproteins that bind specific ligands; e.g., the T-cell receptor which binds specifically to an antigenic peptide; there are also Fc receptors, complement receptors, etc. |
| Antibody |
glycoproteins produced by B-cells that bind to antigen; IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM |
