Q

what is the function of receptor up-regulation?

A

to increase the number of receptors synthesized and amplify the signaling molecule’s effect

100
Q

what is the function of receptor down-regulation?

A

often involves transporting receptors to lysosomes, where they are destroyed

101
Q

what are the four receptors?

A

ion-channel linked receptors, G protein-linked receptors, enzyme-linked receptors, and intracellular receptors

102
Q

where are ion-channel linked receptors found

A

the plasma membrane

103
Q

what is the function of ion channel-linked receptors?

A

to convert chemical signals into electrical signals, opening and closing in response to binding of the signaling molecules (ligand)

104
Q

what is an example of ion-channel linked receptors?

A

acetylcholine which binds to and opens ligand gated sodium ion channels

105
Q

what are G protein-linked receptors?

A

transmembrane proteins with an outside binding site for a signaling molecules and an internal binding site for a specific G proteins

106
Q

what do G protein-linked receptors do?

A

couple signaling molecules to transduction pathways in the cell

107
Q

why are G protein-linked receptors important to medicine?

A

more than 400 are potential target for pharmaceutical interventions

108

110
Q

what is tyrosine kinase?

A

(enzyme-linked receptor) an enzymes that catalyzes transfer of phosphate groups (phosphorylation) from ATP to a specific tyrosine that is part of a protein

111
Q

what are intracellular receptors?

A

most are transcription factors like estrogen receptor (ER) that binds estrogens and is involved in some breasts cancers

112
Q

where are intracellular receptors found?

A

in the cytosol or nucleus

113
Q

how do signaling molecules more through target cells (intracellular receptors)?

A

by diffusing across the membrane of the target cell

114
Q

what are two ways that signaling molecules diffuse across the membranes of target cells?

A

by combining with receptors in the cytosol and moving to the nucleus or binding to receptors already bound to DNA inside the nucleus

115
Q

what is the relationship between regulatory molecules and membrane proteins? (Signal Transduction)

A

regulatory molecules activate ,membrane proteins, which then transduce the signal

116
Q

what happens when signaling molecules bind with cell-surface receptors? (Signal Transduction)

A

signling molecules activate cell surface receptors by changing the shape of the receptor tail that extends into the cytoplasm

117
Q

what happens during signal transduction

A

regulatory molecules activate membrane proteins, a signal is transduce, signaling molecules bind to cell surface receptors and a signal is relayed through protein kinase

118
Q

what happens when a signal is relayed through proteins kinase? (Signal Transduction)

A

a signaling pathway is created which amplifies the signal

Q

how can signaling molecules act ad molecular switches?
