Medical Definition of Transmembrane transducer
1. A system that transmits a chemical or electrical signal across a membrane. Usually involves a transmembrane receptor protein that is thought to undergo a conformation change that is expressed on the inner surface of the membrane. Many such transducing species are dimeric and the conformation change may involve interaction between the two components.
