Term
What are the 4 sources of 'classic' hormones
Definition
Endocrinology. Neurobiology, immune cells, development
Term
What Are the two major classes of receptors
Definition
Cytoplasmic receptors, cell surface receptors
Term
What is common characteristic of cell surface hormone
Definition
Hydrophilic and cannot pass through cell membranes, epinephrine,
Term
What is an example of amino acid derivitaves
Definition
Epinephrine. Derivative of amino acids
Term
What is an example of arochodinic acid hormones
Definition
protoglandins
Term
What is a example of a peptide hormone
Definition
FSH, glucagon, insulin
Term
What are example of cytoplasmic receptors
Definition
Steroid hormones, thyroxin. The lipid soluble hydrophobic molecules
Term
How do hydrophobic hormone float around freely in the cell
Definition
Binding proteins carry it to the membrane and receptors grab it in the cyctoplasm
Term
Steroid hormone work at long periods of time. What is the range?
Definition
Hours to days. They change gene transcription
Term
Cell surface proteins work very fast
Definition
Minutes to hours but can also cause transcriptional changes.
Term
What is epinephrine and thyroid hormone made from?
Definition
TYROSINE. Thyroxin is more hydrophobic and uses cytoplasmic receptors.
Term
Despite haying 2 protein what is the number of genes insulin comes from
Definition
1. One strand has a portion cleaved in the middle resulting in 3 pieces. 2 of which are insulin.
Term
What does the eliminated sequence in protein hormones do?
Definition
It folds the protein in a way that allows for the functional portions t line up.
Term
Where do all prostaglandins come from
Definition
Fatty acids
Term
What do cylclooxygenase do
Definition
asparin inhibits it.
Term
What does aspirin do to the enzyme
Definition
It covalently modicies the enzyme
Term
How do you recognize thyroid hormone
Definition
Two rings and an amine
Term
What are the 5 signal transduction pathways
Definition
1. adenylate cyclist cascade
2.phospoinositide cascade
3. Tyrosine kinase receptor cascade
4. Steroid hormone
5. Serine/threonine receptor
Term
What do drugs most often target
Definition
Signaling pathways rather than the functional molecules
Term
When you wart to break down glycogen why signaling system do you do
Definition
CAMP produces various complementing effects. CAMP produces multiple protein Kinases that do different things and work together.
Term
CAMP
Definition
Hormones triggers an effect in a protein on the cell surface which cause cAMP to be formed inside the cell
Term
What else is needed to form Camp
Definition
GTP
Term
What is the camp cascade
Definition
receptor->G protein -> adenlyate cyclist -> camp -> protein kinase A
Term
CAMP produces different effects in different cells because
Definition
Actives different enzymes unique to different tissue. In liver it is phosphorylate kinase. In smooth muscle it is a myosin light Chain kinase
Term
Every receptor that works through camp has a similar structure
Definition
External component on the outside of the full made up of hkydrophillic Witt 7 membrane spanning hydrophobic transmembrane regions
Term
The receptors have very different chains on the outside of the cell for purpose
Definition
It allows it to be unique to special receptors but perform the same function on the inside of the cell
Term
With the very different outside why is the inside the same on receptors?
Definition
They all activate G proteins.
Term
In the inactive state g proteins are bound to what?
Definition
GDP in the alpha subunit
Term
What happens when a hormone binds to the receptor
Definition
The beta Gamma subunit falls off and the GDP is replaced with A GTP
Term
Which has a higher affinity for for gprotein?
Definition
GDP has a much higher affinity for the protein until the receptor kicks it off and G-TP takes its place. IT happens BC of the high volume of gtp
Term
When GTp is bound what changes in the protein?
Definition
The a-subunit has a high affinity for adenylate cylcase and activates it to camp
Term
What does a GTP phosphorylase
Definition
It turns off GTP proteins by dephohorylating it back to GDP. It is a slow rate but can be regulated by another enzyme.
Term
How does cholera work? Camp shuts down Na transfer
Definition
In the epithelium of stomach Na no longer balances chloride which causes water to rush into the GI tract causing diarrhea. Cholera toxin activates Camp production which stops NA regulation.
Term
What is the cholera toxin called
Definition
ADP ribosyl transverse- splits NAD and attached ADP ribose and activates the gprotein but blocks the GTPASe activity which keeps the protein switched on.
Term
How does caffeine relate
Definition
It blocks camp phosphodiesterase which stimulate nerves.
Term
How is camp regulated
Definition
Protein Kinase A. Camp binds to inactive state and reeves an inactive subunit and allows the enzyme to activate until it is degraded.
Term
Free question
Definition
Instead of cholera toxin another toxin activates a Gprotein. Which of the choices what molecule activates or inhibits it.
