Receptors Flashcards
receptors required for action potential
ligand gated and voltage gated ion channels
Neuronal action potentials, after ACh binds to ligand gated ion channel what happens next?
Voltage gated Na+ channel opens THEN a voltage gated Cl-channel opens
an action potential starts with a _________ gated ion channel
Ligand gated ion channels
leads to action potential, positive ions go into the cell
Excitatory
Hyperpolarization, negative ions into the cells
Inhibitory
ligand binds to a receptor and activates it
agonist
ligand binds to receptor and prevents it from activating
antagonist
antagonist that acts on the main binding site
orthosteric antagonist
antagonist that acts on an accessory binding site
allosteric antagonist
antagonist that physically obstructs ion channel
pore blocker
pentamer
cys-loop receptors
tetramer
ionotropic glutamate receptors
cys-loop receptors
nicotinic ACh receptors
glycine receptors
5HT-3 Receptors (serotonin)
GABA-A receptors
ionotropic glutamate receptors
NMDA receptors
Kianate receptors
AMPA receptors
inhibitory cys-loop receptors
Glycine
GABA- A
excitatory cys-loop receptors
Nicotinic ACh Receptors
5HT-3 (Serotonin) Receptors
named fro the loop made by a disulfide bond
cys-loop receptors
physical gate of cys-loop receptors
the second transmembrane domain of the ALPHA subunit
causes ALPHA subunit to change conformation
agonist binding
drugs that act on nAChR
Nicotine
Varenicline (Chantix)
drugs that act on GABA-a
Ambien (Zolpidem), Barbituates, Benzodiazepines, Alcohol
T/F drugs have distinct binding sites that allow it to effect receptors in a unique way
True
drugs that act on NMDA receptors
Ketamine
drugs that act on AMPA receptors
Aniracetam (cognition enhancer)
nAChR subunits at neuromuscular junction
alpha, beta, gamma, delta
subunits at neuronal nAChR
alpha and beta
Receptor that pass Na, K, Ca
Has non-selective cation channels
composed of five subunits
ion passage depends on subunits
nAChR
