G-Protein-Linked Receptors

1 / 23

24 Terms

1

G-Protein-Linked Receptors

A cell membrane protein receptor that is very common with a diversity of functions, but only result in single pathway responses.

New cards
2

Tyrosine Kinases

A cell membrane protein receptor that produces a multiple pathway response and regulates/coordinates many cell functions.

New cards
3

Ion Channels

Open or close when ligands bind to a receptor.

New cards
4

Intracellular Receptors

A cell membrane protein receptor that target proteins inside the cell. These must be hydrophobic to pass into the cell.

New cards
5

Steps of Cell Communication

Reception, Transduction and Response

New cards
6

Reception

When a single molecule (ligand) bonds to a receptor protein on the cell's surface.

New cards
7

Transduction

The step of cell communication when the information is sent through the cell. It is initiated by conformational change of the receptor protein and is eventually turned into a cellular response. Multistep pathways can amplify a signal.

New cards
8

Response

This is what the cell signaling results in, which causes either regulation of cytoplasmic activities or transcription.

New cards
9

Quorum Sensing

The process by which bacteria determine the population density of their species in a local area by sending out ligands. Once the concentration of these ligands reach a certain point, the bacteria all respond simultaneously.

New cards
10

Cell-to-Cell Communication

When cells that are touching communicate by surface receptors directly giving information to the cytoplasm it is directly connected to.

New cards
11

Local Signaling

Communication of cells when they are close together, but not touching.

New cards
12

Long Distance Signaling

Communication of cells that are far apart. These ligands must use hormones to travel through the blood stream to get to their destination.

New cards
13

Prophase

Chromosomes begin to coil, centrioles move to opposite poles, the spindle fibers begin to coil, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the nuclear membrane disappears.

New cards
14

Metaphase

The chromosomes begin to line up along the equator of the cell.

New cards
15

Anaphase

The spindle fibers connect to the chromosomes and pull them to the opposite poles of the cell.

New cards
16

Telophase

The nucleus reforms, the spindle fibers disintegrate, and the DNA uncoils. This is basically the opposite of Prophase.

New cards
17

Cytokinesis

The cytoplasm splits in two as a cleavage furrow forms and the cell splits into two.

New cards
18

Cancerous Cell

Most cells enter G0 once they sense that there is no need for more cells, but these cells continue to reproduce rapidly with no mind to how many cells are present, thus creating a tumor. If these cells enter the blood stream, they can be transported all over the body.

New cards
19

Centromeres

Area where the chromatids of a chromosome are attached at the center.

New cards
20

Chromatids

These are the tightly coiled pieces of DNA that connect at the centromere to create chromosomes.

New cards
21

G1 Phase

This is the first growth phase of the cell, in which the cell grows. The cell can also enter G0 here if needed.

New cards
22

G0 Phase

This is the resting phase of the cell cycle that a cell enters if it does not need to split into two because there are already enough cells.

New cards
23

S Phase

A part of Interphase in which the DNA replicates and is organized into chromosomes as it wraps around histone proteins which form into chromatin and connect to make chromosomes.

New cards
24

G2 Phase

This is the second growth phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows again and prepares for division by producing more organelles.
