1.3 Flashcards
describe what full agonist is?
has 100% efficacy
provokes biological response
describe what partial agonist is?
less than 100% efficacy
describe what natural antagonist is?
has 0% efficacy but occupies a receptor site
blocks
describe what inverse agonist is?
binds to receptor and produces opposite effect of an agonist
which molecules act as molecular switch?
ATP
GTP
what removes the GDP from inactive G-proteins?
GEF (Guanine Exchange Factor)
what stimulated the G protein intrinsic GTPase activity?
GAP (GTPase Activating Protein
example for first massenger?
NE
NeuroTransmitters
5 Receptor types:
- GPCR
- Ion channels
- Receptor with enzyme activity
- Enzyme Activity- Linked Receptor
- Intracellular Receptors
GPCR structure
7TM domains
heterotrimeric (a,b,gamma)
a subunit of GPCR binds
GDP or GTP
what happens when the a subunit binds GTP?
a subunit dissociates from the beta-gamma complex
what breaks down cAMP?
phosphodiesterase
caffeine blocks it
Gi GPCR effects
inhibitory- opposing Gs activity
Phospholipase A2 active -> arachidonic acid release -> COX -> bla bla bla
Gq GPCR effects
stimulates Phospholipase C -> converts PIP2 to IP3 and DAG
