New cards

What receptor type is the fastest?

Ligand-gated ion (ionotropic)

2
New cards

What are the four receptor superfamilies?

  • ligand gated ion channels

  • G protein coupled receptors

  • Kinase-gated receptors

  • nuclear receptors

3
New cards

What is an example of a ligand gated receptor?

nicotinic and ACh receptors

4
New cards

What is an example of a G-protein coupled receptor?

muscarinic and ACh receptors

5
New cards

What is an example of a kinase-linked receptor?

cytokine receptors

6
New cards

What is an example of a nuclear receptor?

oestrogen receptor

7
New cards

How do nicotinic ACh receptors work?

It has two alpha subunits and one requires ACH to bind to open the channel

8
New cards

What does Gs do?

stimulated adenylyl cyclase and activates Ca2+ channels

9
New cards

What does Gi do?

inhibits adenylyl cyclase and activates K+ channels

10
New cards

What does Gq do?

activates phospholipase C

11
New cards

Wat does Go do?

inhibits Ca2+ currents

12
New cards

What does Gt do?

stimulates adenylyl cyclase in the eye

13
New cards

What does Gdf do?

stimulates adenylyl cyclase in the nose
