1
New cards

What is the 1st step?

1st messenger binds plasma membrane receptor

2
New cards

What step happens after 1st messenger binds plasma membrane receptor?

G-protein binds receptor

3
New cards

What happens after G-protein binds receptor?

GDP kicked off ; GTP binds

4
New cards

What is GTP?

Energy Molecule

5
New cards

What happens after GDP is kicked off ; GTP binds?

Alpha-GTP leaves ; Beta and gamma leave

6
New cards

What happens after alpha-GTP leaves ; Beta and gamma leave?

Alpha-GTP binds a membrane protein : AC (Adenylate Cyclase) or PLC (Phospholipase C)

7
New cards

What happens after Alpha-GTP binds a membrane protein : AC (Adenylate Cyclase) or PLC (Phospholipase C)?

AC converts ATP to cAMP

8
New cards

Is cAMP a 1st or 2nd messenger?

2nd

9
New cards

What happens after AC converts ATP to cAMP?

Protein Kinase A (PKA) is activated by cAMP

10
New cards

What happens after Protein Kinase A (PKA) is activated by cAMP?

PKA phosphorylates ; (Typically turns protein on or off)
