Chapter 11, Problem 7IQ
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.
