Gs Flashcards
S for
stimulatory
stimulates
adenylyl cyclase
adenylyl cyclase
produces cAMP from ATP
increase in cAMP increases
PKA
PKA
protein phosphorylation and activation of downstream proteins
pathway
1) ligan binds
2) GDP is exchanged of GTP
3) y+B dissociates
4) Gs activates adenylyl cyclase which produces ATP from cAMP
5) cAMP activates PKA
6) PKA activation of downstream signaling
Gs receptors
B1 adrenergic, B2 adrenergic, B3 adrenergic, thyrotropin receptor, Glucagon receptor
B1 adrenergic
- increase cardiac output, by increasing heart rate. (noradrenaline)
- renin secretion
B2 adrenergic
- fight or flight response
- smooth muscle relaxation in the lungs (noradrenaline)
B3 adrenergic
lipolysis in adipose tissue
glucagon receptor
causes the breakdown of glycogen when adrenaline binds
gene expression
PKA phosphorylates DNA binding elements
