PGI2 and TxA2 PGI2 and TXA2 work as antagonists 0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:36:46 GMT view revision history
thromboxanes promote clotting 0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:38:18 GMT view revision history
prostaglandins most of which are pro-inflammatory 0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:38:18 GMT view revision history
calmodulin -4 binding areas for Ca+2
changes shapes of proteins
-activates/inhibits

0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:30:13 GMT view revision history
Ca as 2nd messenger -increased by:

-G protein activating ion gates
-IP3 releasing Ca+2 from ER
-active transport of Ca+2 out of cell blocked
-opening voltage-gated channels
0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:30:13 GMT view revision history
IP3, DAG -effector= phospholipase C
-causes IPI2 to be converted to IP3, DAG
-DAG activates protein kinases

-IP3 makes ER leaky to Ca+2, increase cytosol Ca+2
-mediates cell responses
-Ca+2= 3rd messenger?

cAMP -elicits glycogenlysis in liver
-2nd messenger
-adenylyl cyclase is effector protein
-cAMP activates cAMP-dependednt protein kinases
-phosphorylates proteins (inhibits or activates)

to stop:
-phosphodiesterasedegrades cAMP
if blocked, cAMP runs wild

-cGMP analog

2nd messenger system -activate G proteins in PM
-can be cAMP, IP3, DAG, Ca+2
-1st messenger binds

-activates effector proteins in PM
-effector protein generates 2nd messenger
-G protein "couples" receptor and effector

-receptor activates channel
-ex: neurotransmitter action postsynaptically
0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:18:31 GMT view revision history

0 mcs5109 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 04:09:47 GMT view revision history
