What kind of membrane proteins trigger a change in cellular activity in response to a stimulus?

Receptor proteins

Why?
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a physiological response. Different receptors are specific for different molecules. Dopamine receptors bind dopamine, insulin receptors bind insulin, nerve growth factor receptors bind nerve growth factor, and so on.
