Rather than binding specific ligands like most receptors, olfactory receptors display affinity for a range of odor molecules.

There are five specific ligands that interact with this protein.

As the structural detail of these interactions emerges, these differences could potentially be exploited to produce more potent and specific ligands.

These receptors function in signal transduction and endocytosis of specific ligands.

Each of these receptors has a specific ligand, although some receptors that belong to the same class, such as NCR, recognize similar molecules.

These domains are present on the cell membrane and have a role in binding to specific ligands and are often found to be involved with the immune system.

The specific ligand is thought to be 2-arachidonyl glycerol, or 2-AG.

Chemical specificity is the ability of a protein's binding site to bind specific ligands.

The specific ligand of this receptor is CCL25.

By using an expression cloning library, IgA has been demonstrated as a specific ligand of TIM-1.
