Think about the GPCR pathway that was discussed in class. It went Signal molecule -> GPCR -> G protein -> adneylyl cyclase -> cAMP -> downstream effects. Which of the following was the secondary messenger?
what is true about cell membrane receptors?
Practice: G-Protein Coupled Receptors
Match the G-protein coupled receptor pathway component to the general signal transduction role.
What is one of the most common changes in the cell after receiving a ligand that activates the adenylyl cyclase pathway or the tyrosine kinase pathway?
Order the G protein coupled receptor signalling mechanism in order of events:
A certain ligand is known to be able to bind to multiple cell surface receptors. However, once it binds to any one of its receptors, it requires a lot of energy to dissociate the ligand from the receptor. What can you say about this ligand?

Insulin is a hormone that acts as a signal to tell the cell to take up glucose from the blood. There is a protein associated with the cell membrane that sends a signal to the cell once it binds to insulin. What kind of membrane protein is this?
