2nd messengers II Flashcards
function of alpha1adrenergic receptors
activate phospholipase C
function of alpha2 adrenergic receptors
inhibtion of adenylate cyclase
function of beta adrenergic receptors
activate adenylate cyclase
where does epinephrine act through beta adrenergic receptors
skeletal muscle
where does epinepherine act through alpha1 adrenergic receptors
liver
what is NO produced from
arginine
NO
acts locally
what is NO converted rapidly to
nitrates and nitrates upon reaction with O2 and water
what happens when acetylcholine is released
influx of Ca++ into endothelial cells
what happens with Ca++ binds to calmodulin
complex stimulated activity of NO synthase
what happens when NO is released
diffuses into neighboring smooth muscle cells, binds/activates soluble guanylate cyclase
how does nitroglycerin work to treat angina
converted to NO, causes relaxation of blood vessels, reduces blood pressure
what type of drug is VIagra
phosphodiesterase inhibitor
how does Viagra work
cGAMP levles remain elevated, blood vessles stay relaxed, increasing blood flow
function of protein tyrosine kinase
transfer gamma-phosphate from ATP to hydroxyl group of tyrosine
