Chapter 45, Problem 12TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: How melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) enables skin color change and distribution in frog based on its surrounding and how neuroendocrine signals activate MSH.
Concept introduction:
In neuroendocrine pathway, sensory neurons stimulate neurosecretory cells to release neurohormones. Like endocrine hormones, neurohormones reach their target receptors via the bloodstream. MSH is a peptide hormone produced by skin, pituitary and hypothalamus. It stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin pigment.

- Under in vivo conditions, chronic treatment with a noncompetitive antagonist may lead to the up-regulation of the targeted receptor over time. True False Cytokines are peptides that are generally made in advance by specific types of cells, stored in vesicles, and act as autocrine or paracrine factors. True False Thyroid hormone is stored in an extracellular compartment. True Falsearrow_forwardVisit this link (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/hormonebind) to watch an animation of the events that occur when a hormone binds to a cell membrane receptor.

Which hypothesis regarding the effect of this mutation on EGF signaling is most likely to be correct? EGF signaling cascades would be active for longer in the cell. EGF signaling cascades would be active for a shorter period of time in the cell. EGF signaling cascades would not occur. EGF signaling would be unaffected.arrow_forward
- A small molecule binds to a G protein, preventing its activation. What direct effect will this have on signaling that involves cAMP? The hormone will not be able to bind to the hormone receptor. Adenylyl cyclase will not be activated. Excessive quantities of cAMP will be produced. The phosphorylation cascade will be initiated.arrow_forwardWhen growth hormone binds to an enzyme-linked receptor, (a) G proteins are amplified into a cascade of molecules (b) the enzyme portion of the receptor becomes dephosphorylated (c) the receptor becomes activated and phosphorylates signaling proteins in the cell (d) an ion channel is opened (e) an immediate signal is sent into the nucleus, and specific genes are activated or inhibitedarrow_forwardIt is important for the cell to be able to terminate responses, and diminish responsiveness to prevent overstimulation. Cells have different mechanisms for this. One such mechanism is receptor down regulation. a.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the availability of hormones or neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less likely to be stimulated. b.) Down regulation describes glycosylation of receptor proteins receptors on the surface of target cells in order to decrease the selectivity of ligand binding, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter. c.) Down regulation describes a decrease in the number of receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells less sensitive to a hormone or neurotransmitter.arrow_forward
