NT receptors Flashcards
NTs act on specific cells . This is called their——-.
selectivity
List the General 2 types of receptors
IONOTROPIC
METABOTROPIC
IONOTROPIC receptors are also called—-?
Ligand gated channels
Define the 2 types of receptors
IONOTROPIC: are ion Channel act as receptors too
METABOTROPIC: The receptor molecule, ion channel and ion protein are all separate
Differentiate between the 2 types of receptors in terms of life span,and rate of synaptic response
IONOTROPIC: fast post synaptic response
-responses are short lived
METABOTROPIC: response is a long lived and they act with slow postsynaptic response
METABOTROPIC receptors are bound——- that eventually cause——
to G-proteins
ion channels to open
List the Ach receptors and what type of receptors they are
Muscarinic
-metabotropic
NICOTINIC
Ionotropic
How many subunits of muscarinic receptors do we have and what type of Gprotein do they use
M1: Gq,G11 M2: Gi,Go M3: Gq,G11 M4: Gi,Go M5: Gq,G11
Effect of muscarinic receptors on second messengers
M1: Increase +IP3 , +DAG M2: inhibit adenyl cyclase M3: Increase +IP3 , +DAG M4: inhibit adenyl cyclase M5: Increase +IP3 , +DAG
Location of m1,3,5 receptors besides CNS neurons
M1: sympathetic post ganglionic neurons and some presynaptic sites
M3:exocrine glands,vessels,smooth muscles,endothelium
M5:vascular endothelium
Location of M2,4 receptors besides CNS neurons
M2: myocardium,some smooth muscles ,some presynaptic sites
M4:vagal nerve endings
List the types of nicotinic receptors
Nn,N1, Nm
Location of the types of nicotinic receptors
Nn
found in some pre synaptic cholinergic terminals,post ganglionic neurons
Nm
Found in muscle receptors
Nicotinic receptors are muscarinic.
T/F
T
What type of subunits do the nicotinic receptors have?
Nn: only alpha(2-10) and beta(2-4)subunits
Nn:alpha, beta, gamma,delta, episilon
Mechanism of nicotinic receptors
ion channel opens, permitting either one or more specific types of ions (e.g., K+, Na+, Ca2+) to diffuse into or out of the cell.
Effect of the Muscarinic receptors on K,and Ca conductance
M2 and M4:increase K; decrease Ca
M1,M3,M5:reduce K;increase Ca
Broad Types of adrenoreceptors
alpha and beta
