1、Biochemistry Lecture (Oct 18, 2012)Chapter 5-5 Protein Function, modulation and evolution: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) Also called seven-transmembrane (7TM) Receptor Allow cells to sense their environment; Activate G-proteins and downstream proteins; Transducing messages of photons (vision),
2、 odorants (smell), tastants (taste), hormones, neurotransmitters (behavior and mood), etc;G -proteinReceptorEpinephrine, a catecholamine prepares an animal to “fight or flight”.Nerve signals and hormones from the brain alert the body. The adrenal gland releases stress hormones into the bloodstream.
3、Cells throughout the body sense that something is happening via their receptors and respond accordingly.Epinephrine is also produced in the brain!GPCR is a superfamily, with b b2 adrenergic receptor (b b2AR) being a model system Human genome encodes about 1,000 GPCRs; Being targets of approximately
4、30% of all modern medicinal drugs!
