31
arachidonic acid convert into biologically active metabolites that are collectively called
eicosanoids (all have 20carbon atoms)
32
arachidonic acid -> eicosanoids pathway cyclooxygenase produces what
produces thromboxanes, prostaglandins, and prostacyclins
33
arachidonic acid -> eicosanoids pathway 5-lipoxygenase produces what
leukotrienes, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE)
34

36
what catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into the precursors of prostaglandins, prostacyclins, and thromboxanes
cyclooxygenase
37
how do most NSAIDS (aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen) work
directly target cyclooxygenase
38
5-lipooxygenase initiates the conversion of arachidonic acid into what
leukotrienes
39
leukotrienes particiapte in what reponses
allergic, inflammatory
40
epoxygenase pathways converts arachidonic acid into what 2 products
HETE, EET
41
what do HETE and EET do
cell proliferation and Ca2+ release
42
what are the 2 G protein superfamilies
classic heterotrimeric G proteins that bind to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) small GTP binding proteins such as Ras
43
activated RTKs transduce their signal using which small GTP binding protein
Ras
44
receptor guanylyl cyclases
catalyze generation of cGMP from GTP
45
receptor serine/threonine kinases
phosphorylate serine or threonin residues
46
receptor tyrosine kinases
phosphorylates tyrosine residues
47
yrosine kinase associated recptors
interact w cytosolic tyrosine kinases
48
ceptor tyrosine phosphatases
cleave phosphate groups from tyrosine groups of cellular proteins
49
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) act on what
vascular smooth muscle to dilate blood vessels and enhance Na+ excretion into urine (which is termed natriuresis)
50
a binding of what induces a conformational change in receptor guanylyl cyclase that causes dimerizatino and activation
natriuretic peptide
51
what does receptor guanylyl cyclase do
conversion of GTP to cGMP and raises levels of intracellular levels of cGMP
52
what does increased cGMP cause
RELAXATION of vascular SMOOTH MUSCLE to dilate blood vessels enhanced sodium excretion in the urine (natriuresis)
53
soluble guanylyl cyclase has what receptor
nitric oxide (NO)
54
NO plays an important role in the control of what
blood flow and blood pressure
55
vascular endothelial cells use NO synthase to what
cleave arginine into citrulline plus NO
56
Nitroglycerin relieves chest pain that accompanies inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle how
breaks down and releases NO (relaxes the smooth muscles of peripheral arterioles) (reduces the work of the heart and relieving the associated pain)
57
how does viagra work
inhibits PDE5 (PDE5 stops cGAMP which stops increased blood flow)
58
what does RTK phosphorylate
themselves
59
insulin and various growth factors interact w what type of receptor
RTK
60
nuclear receptors bind to specific DNA sequences called what
hormone response elements
61
nuclear receptors are found only in the nucleus T or F
False, can be in cytoplasm also, just eventually goes to nucleus
