Because membrane receptors interact with both extracellular signals and molecules within the cell, they permit signaling molecules to affect cell function without actually entering the cell.

As these signaling molecules are so potent ... synthesis of the enzymes used to release these fatty acids from the cell membrane, preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins.
