MODULE 2 Flashcards
idiosyncratic
genetically based abnormal reactivity to a xenobiotic with no known cause
noncovalent binding
most common reaction, reversible
receptors
cellular proteins that normally serve as receptors for endogenous ligands
stereoisomers
have the same molecular formula but can have different effects
agonist
xenobiotics that bind to receptor and mimic the effect of the endogenous ligand
antagonist
xenobiotics that bind to receptor and produce no effect
partial agonist
xenobiotics that bind to receptor and produce a lesser effect than the endogenous ligand
60% of all pharmaceuticals
G protein-coupled receptors
endocrine disrupting chemicals
Nuclear hormone receptors
orphan receptors
orphan receptors are receptors with no known endogenous ligand
thiol groups are repaired by
thioredoxin and glutaredoxin
three enzymes involved in DNA repair
endonuclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase
fibrosis
results in excessive deposition (overproduction) of extracellular matrix proteins
most toxic ROS produced
.OH
ROS can damage cell membrane by a process called
lipid peroxidation
Xenobiotic induced proteotoxicity that causes improperly folded proteins can be repaired by
heat shock proteins
The two-electron reduction reaction that detoxifies quinones is catalyzed by
NQO
motor vehicles produce
ozone
