4
Q
course of signal transduction cascade
A
1st msgr, the NT, binds to the neuron and activates ion channels and forms 2nd msgrs.
3rd msgr activated and form kinases which add phosphate groups for the 4th msgr to create phosphoproteins or they can remove the phosphate groups
5
Q
4 common signal transduction cascades
A
- G protein linked systems
- Ion channel linked systems
- Hormone linked systems
- Neurotrophin linked systems
each begins with a different 1st messenger and activates different downstream 3rd 4th etc

Q
gene expression
A
the endgame of neurotransmission which synthesizes proteins
