When salbutamol acts in the body, it does so by binding to a receptor in the cell membrane. Receptors help to communicate between the outside of the cell and the inside of the cell, much like a window or a door bell helps people in a house learn about what is going on outside. The receptor salbutamol binds to is a protein called the <scene name='61/611451/Adrenergic_receptor/6'>adrenergic receptor</scene>. | When salbutamol acts in the body, it does so by binding to a receptor in the cell membrane.

It's a big molecule, and salbutamol is difficult to see because it is surrounded by the receptor, especially if we show name='61/611451/Adrenergic_receptor/7'>all the atoms</scene>.
