up and down regulation

[marinola]

I have read the definition of down-regulation, but I don´t get it.
Could anyone give a try?
Thanks in advanced

[sdekivit]

for example: the downregulation of membraneproteins

–> when a ligan binds, the signal produced by the liogand must be stopped. one way is receptor downregulation, in which the receptor is internalized and degraded in the lysosome.

I love signaling pathways 🙂
