GPCRs Flashcards
What are the effectors of the Gq protein?
Activates phospholipase C to produce IP3 releasing Ca2+
What does phospholipase C do?
Cleaves PIP2 to make IP3 and diacylglycerol
What is diacylglycerol?
Hydrophobic messenger generated by PIP2 cleavage
What does phopholipase D create?
Phosphatidic acid
What does calmodulin phosphorylase kinase activate?
Phosphorylase P
What is the negative feedback loop in Gs system?
Prolonged stim. of B2 adreno pathway - BAR phosphorylates residues and B arestin stops signalling
What 2nd messenger is created by phospholipase A2?
Arachidonic acid
What does DAG regulate?
Protein kinase C family
Where are IP3 receptors found?
ER
How is IC Ca2+ kept so low?
Ca2+ ATPase pump
How does PKa amplify signal in Gs?
Phosphorylates calmodulin phosphorylase kinase
