Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Glucagon}} is a peptide hormone that binds to a {{c2::GPCR}} on the cell {{c2::surface}}, activating {{c2::secondary}} messengers.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Epinephrine}} is a catecholamine hormone that binds to a {{c2::GPCR}} on the cell {{c2::surface}}, activating {{c2::secondary}} messengers.
Published 08/28/2024 This image shows {{c1::amplification}}
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Modularity}} Allows interaction between similar signaling pathways Example: phosphorylation
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Adaptation}}: Overuse leads to mechanisms to prevent response Underuse leads to decreased production
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Integration}}: cell adjusts to multiple signals
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Localization}}: Allows signal to be confined to certain regions of cell Relies on structures such as membrane {{c2::rafts}} to sequester signal …
Published 08/28/2024 Whether or not an ion crosses a membrane depends on both {{c1::charge}} concentration and {{c1::specific ion}} concentration.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::Cholera}} toxin: Loss of GTPase activity results in constant {{c2::adenylyl cyclase}} activity --> Excessive production of cAMP
Published 08/28/2024 Serum {{c1::albumin}} attaches to many {{c2::nonpolar}} molecules to transport them in the blood.
Published 08/28/2024 {{c1::hydrophobic}} hormones are able to get in to the {{c2::nucleus}}.
Published 08/28/2024 Sense of smell: Rapid {{c1::increase}} in Ca2+ with Cl- {{c1::efflux}} cause brain to sense odorant.Smells tend to decrease over time since the&n…
