Endocrine Physiology Flashcards
(232 cards)
Produces new proteins from DNA
Lipid-soluble
Steroid Hormones
Modifies existing proteins
Water-soluble
Protein hormones
T3, T4, epinephrine, Norepinephrine
Derivative of Tyrosine
Convert hormonal signal into 2nd messenger
G proteins
For fat-soluble substances
Intracellular Receptors
Acts as transducers
G proteins
Is stimulated by Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors
GTP-activated
Is inhibited by GTPase-Accelerating Proteins, RGS proteins
GTP-activated
Activates Adenylate Cyclades converts ATP to cAMP -> activates Protein Kinase A
Alpha Subunit of G protein
May regulate ion channels directly
Broken down by cAMP phosphodiesterase
cAMP
Regulates effector proteins
PKA
Alpha t subunit activates cGMP phosphodiesterase -> decreases cGMP -> closes cGMP-dependent ion channels
G protein with alpha t (transducin)
Phospholipids C -> PIP2 -> PIP2 splits into InsP3 or IP3 (releases Calcium from ER) and DAG (activates Protein Kinase C)
G-protein with alpha q
Releases calcium from ER
IP3
activates Protein Kinase C
DAG
Guanylyl Cyclase converts GTP to cGMP -> activates Protein Kinase G -> Phosphorylates Proteins
Receptor Guanylyl Cyclases
Example of Receptor Guanylyl Cyclases
ANP
NO
Attaches to Type 1 subunit-> Phosphorylates Serine/Threonine residues on Type 2 subunit -> activates effectors
Receptor Serine/ Threonine Kinases
Example of Receptor Serine/ Threonine Kinases
TGF-Beta
Example of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase
NGF EGF PDGF IGF-1 insulin
No intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity
Associate with proteins that have tyrosine kinases of the Src family and Janus family (JAK)
Tyrosine-associated Kinase Receptors
Example of Tyrosine-associated Kinase Receptors
EPO
Synthesize in the hypothalamus
CRH
Vasopressin/Oxytocin
cAMP - 2ND MESSENGER
DH (V2 receptors) Angiotensin II (Epithelial cells) Catecholamines (B1 & B2 Receptors) ACTH LH, FSH, TSH HCG MSH CRH Calcitonin PTH Secretin Somatostatin Glucagon
