MECHANISMS OF SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION IN ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS Flashcards
1
Q
Alpha1 adrenoceptors
A
Gq proteins activating phospholipase C,
which contribute to formation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositoltriphosphate (IP3)
2
Q
Alpha 2 adrenoceptors
A
– Gi proteins, which inhibit adenylyl cyclase
leading to decrease of intracellular cAMP
3
Q
Beta adrenoceptors
A
– Gs proteins, which stimulate adenylyl cyclase
leading to increase of intracellular cAMP
