Receptor down regulation leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the cell towards further stimulation.

Receptor down regulation leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the cell towards further stimulation. Correct Answer True

There are two different types of receptors involved in the endocytosis. The endocytosis mediated by the second group of receptors leads to their destruction, called the receptor down regulation. This decreases the sensitivity of the cell towards further stimulation.
