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

  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.
