Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the key features of signal transduction? | Specificity Amplification Desensitization/adaption Integration |
Desensitization/adaption occurs | When the response is denied although there is still a signal |
What happens in specificity? | The signal molecule binds to a specific site producing a receptor; measure of which we can determine the ligand. |
Amplification is | When the enzymes activate enzymes which causes the number of affected molecules to increase in an enzyme cascade |
Signal integration are | Several signals that are given at once, all of which impinge on their receptors. These signals can then b combined from these receptors. |
Intracellular ligands are________ and can enter the nucleus ________ | non-polar; directly |
How are secondary messenger pathways created by cell surface receptors? | Polar ligands |
What is Tyr (tyrosine) derived? What simulates the activity and what inhibits the activity? | Epinepherine Agonists, antagonists |
How are the tyr (tyrosine) constants controlled, in both cases? What does the control allow you to do? | Lower Kd What, when, and how much of a response is given. |
What do G proteins cycle through? | GDP-bound (on) and GTP-bound (off) |
Phospoholipase C ____ &______ IP3 | cleaves and releases |
