Term
what is the time frame for metabotropic and ionotropic receptors
Definition
seconds to minutes and milliseconds, respectively
Term
cardiac muscarinic receptors work by...
Definition
acetylcholine binds GPCR --> beta-gamma subunit binding K+ channel and opening it --> decreases basal rate of depolarization
Term
cardiac Beta-adrenergic receptors work by...
Definition
NE binds GPCR-->alpha subunit activates adenylate cyclase --> cAMP activates PKA --> phosphorylates Ca++ channel, which causes it to open.
Term
mechanism of 5-HT receptor:
Definition
5-HT (seratonin) binds 5HT-GPCR --> Alpha subunit activates AC --> cAMP activates PKA --> PKA phosphorylates normally open K+ channel in presynaptic terminal, closing it --> increases neurotransmitter release
Term
Gq receptor action:
Definition
Alpha subunit activates PLC-->PIP2 cleaved to IP3 and DAG -->IP3 binds to IP3 receptor and releases Ca++ from endoplasmic reticulum
Term
FMRFamide receptor mechanism
Definition
FMRFamide binds-->PLA2 activated by alpha subunit-->arachidonic acid liberated and metabolized to 12-HPETE-->12-HPETE opens S-type K+ channel
Term
anandamide works by?
Definition
Ca++ activate PLD in the postsynaptic neuron generates anandamide-->diffuses back across synapse and binds to cannabinoid receptor (CB1, a GPCR)-->inhibits Ca++ channels, and thus glutamate release and EPSP amplitude
Term
glutamate activates 3 ____ receptors as well as ____ receptors. It is responsible for ___ of EPSPs in the brain
Definition
ionotropic (AMPA, NMDA, Kainate); metabotropic; 90%
Term
at what potential is the Mg++ pushed out of NMDAR?
Definition
~-40mV
