Summary Introduction

To review: The appropriate G-protein coupled pathway that uses Ca2+ as a secondary messenger.

Introduction: G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) is also known as “seven transmemebrane domain receptor”. They are the largest family of cell surface receptors. It binds to various ligands such as neurotransmitters, peptide hormones and odor molecules. GPCR are involved in many cellular processes.

Paracrine signaling is characterized by ligands that are a. produced by the cell itself. b. secreted by neighboring cells. c. present on the plasma membrane of neighboring cells. d. secreted by distant cells.
TAS2R38 codes for a G-protein coupled receptor which contributes to the tasting of PTC. What does this tell you about PTC as a type of ligand?  a It is a protein-based ligand that can cross the CM into the cell  b It is a lipid based ligand that can cross the CM into the cell  c It is a protein-based ligand that requires a second messenger  d It is a lipid-based ligand that requires a second messenger
A biochemist is designing a new drug that will mimic the shape and function of a particular intercellular signaling molecule. Therefore she must produce a molecule that will bind to the receptor protein and... A. produce a cellular response by altering the Na+/K+ pump located near the receptor site. B. induce a change in the receptor molecule shape, which will ultimately prevent a cellular response. C.  induce a change in the receptor molecule shape, which will ultimately produce a cellular response. D.  induce a change in the phospholipid bilayer that causes a polar reversal allowing the molecules to be endocytose (engulfed).
