They are similar in the sense that they cluster upon binding of the ligand, but the intracellular face of the receptor contains death domains instead of tyrosine kinases. The death domain is a region that attracts and activates proteins (caspases) that will then carry out the orderly execution of the cell. Hi Doug,

But are are the death receptors on a cell's surface triggered by a killer T-cell's death ligand also RTK receptors? Or is that another class of receptors? Mike,

As for epi receptors, those are G-protein receptors. The dual use of G-protein receptors and RTK receptors is another interesting story for another day.

A clever design principle. Mike, is the epinephrine receptor also an RTK?
