Q

Explain how phosphatidyl inositol can act like a second messenger. (PIP2)

A

Hormone (vasopressin) binds to integral membrane protein-> conformational change in protein-> gains a GTP-> activate Gaq Protein-> activated phosphlipase C which acts on PIP2 which cleaves off IP3-> IP3 goess to ER to release calcium and interact with calmonduulin-> interacts with release of DAG with intereacts with PKC which will phosphorylate target proteins and carry out action of hormone.
