The ReceptorCards are a pocket-sized pack of flash cards covering the major families of receptors and signalling proteins.

Detailed Description

Please note this item is temporarily unavailable.

For each family of receptors there is a general card (colour coded) and a collection of important receptors from each family; 42 cards cover GPCRs, ion channels, nuclear receptors, enzymes, and transporters. Key facts are included on the rear of the cards covering signalling, expression, agonists and antagonists. In addition, the set of ReceptorCards includes a complementary pack of SignallingCards (34 cards). These cover the main intracellular signalling proteins (e.g. cAMP, Gs, adenylate cyclase…) allowing students to “map” out the pathways in front of them. Key facts are listed on the rear of the cards in quiz form allowing students to test themselves or each other.

The cards feature cartoon drawings of receptors and proteins allowing students to see how they can be represented if they are asked to draw and label a receptor.
