Question

How does the binding of a signal molecule activate an RTK for downstream signaling? The RTK changes conformation to stimulate a G-protein. The RTK forms a dimer and cross-phosphorylates itself. The RTK undergoes a cleavage event to release the cytosolic portion. The RTK is an ion channel that opens in response to ligand binding.
