Definition
same as a glucagon signal transduction; G-protein gets GTP (picks up a GTP which then activates it) which moves to activate adenylate cyclase, making cAMP, activating PKA, which both phosphorylates/activates phosphorylase kinase and phosphyrlates/inactivates glycogen synthase, phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates/activates glycogen phosphorylase which begins glycogenolysis
Term
Describe the signal transduction when epinephrine binds to an a-adrenergic receptor (11)
Definition
only in liver cells; G-proteins transfer the signal to the membrane-bound phospholipase C, which then hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) to form diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3), IP3 stimulates the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, DAG and Ca2+ both then activate protein kinase C, which then inactivates/phosphorylates glycogen synthase, Ca2+ also activates Ca2+-calmodulin which then activates both calmodulin dependent protein kinase (which phosphorylates/inactivates glycogen synthase) and phosphorylase kinase which both activates/phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and inactivates/phosphorylates glycogen synthase

Definition
same as β-adrenergic signal transduction; G-protein gets GTP which moves to activate adenylate cyclase, making cAMP, activating PKA, which both phosphorylates/activates phosphorylase kinase and phosphyrlates/inactivates glycogen synthase, which phosphorylates/activates glycogen phosphorylase which begins glycogenolysis

Definition
Glycogen has a branch roughly every 10 glucose rings and thus roughly 10% of its glucose rings are branched
Term

Definition
Glycogen synthase can’t make new branches, but only add new glucose rings. Branching enzyme works as a 4:6 transferase to make new branches on glycogen.
Term
