When a signaling molecule binds to a glycoprotein receptor on the cell membrane, it initiates signal transduction, leading to changes in the cell's internal activity.
Binding of a molecule to a membrane-bound glycoprotein can cause effects within a cell through signal transduction, where a chemical messenger binds to a complementary receptor, triggering a cascade of reactions that alter cellular activity.
