A lipophilic ligand is carried in blood by a protein, dissociates near a target cell, and enters the cytoplasm. The target receptor has a hydrophobic pocket and a polar anchor point. Which pairing is most likely to initiate signaling?
A
The carrier protein with the cytoplasmic receptor because it transported the ligand
B
The lipophilic ligand with an extracellular receptor lacking a hydrophobic pocket
C
A charged peptide ligand with the cytoplasmic hydrophobic receptor
D
The dissociated lipophilic ligand with the cytoplasmic receptor pocket and matching polar anchor
