👉 In chemistry, a chemoceptor is a molecule that binds to a specific receptor or ligand. These molecules are found on the surface of cells and play important roles in various cellular processes, such as signal transduction, cell adhesion, and protein-protein interactions. Chemoceptors can be classified into two main types: ligand-gated chemoceptors (LGCs) and non-ligand-gated chemoceptors (NLCs). LGCs are proteins that bind
