Q

Undoing Enzyme coupled receptor

A

Getting rid of signal (receptor becomes inactive and Target cells lose phosphates and do not work)

16
Q

Purpose of insulin signaling

A

To let other cells in the body know that glucose is high

17
Q

Insulin is released by

A

Regulated exocytosis

18
Q

Insulin receptors

A

Unusual that subunits are loosely attached but too far to function

19
Q

Insulin receptors are not a

A

Tetramer but rather a dimer (

20
Q

Insulin brings

A

Subunits together to activate receptor

Phosphorylation occurs to target cells

21
Q

Responses to insulin comes from

A

Fat cells and muscle cells

22
Q

Cells will

in response to insulin

A

Import and store glucose in plasma membrane

23
Q

Kinase cascade

A

Series of kinases used to transport and store glucose in the plasma membrane

24
Q

Insulin

Glycogen synthase

25
Insulin Glycogen Breakdown
Decreases
26
Deactivation of insulin
Remove insulin and receptor turns off Phosphatases will remove phosphate from target cell and turn target cells off
27
Bringing glucose transporters back into the cell from the membrane is done by
Pinocytosis (gather into a transport vesicle and store them inside)
28
Diabetes mellitus
Inability to regulate blood glucose
29
Too little glucose causes
Fainting Hypoglycemia
30
Too much glucose causes
Organ damage Hyperglycemia
31
Type 1 diabetes
Problem with insulin (signal)T
32
Type 2 diabetes
Problem with insulin receptor
33
Most common causes of type 1 diabetes
Body kills insulin
34
Type 2 diabetes most common cause
Prolonged overeating Cells block out insulin
35
Treating diabetes mellitus
Insulin shots
36
How to treat diabetes
Monitoring blood glucose Synthetic insulin Healthy diet
37
Edmonton Protocol
Islet cells are placed in liver where they won't be attacked and can make insulin For type 1 diabetes
