Answer #1

Many G protein coupled receptors exert the effects by G proteins.This activates the plasma membrane enzyme PLC phospholipase.The phospholipase cleaves Pip2 to generate IP3 and DAG.DAG molecule is attached tothe plasma membrane whereas IP3 molecule is released in the cytosol and will bind to the calcium gated channel and will cause the release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum.The G proteins contains alpha,beta and gamma subunits which when inactivated in the absence of the signal whereas in presence of signals the alpha subunit bounds to the GTP and is released from the beta and gamma subunit and stimulate the downstream signalling. There are GTPases which hydrolyses the GTP from alpha subuit and then the alpha subunit is again attached to beta and gamma subunit and is inactivated.Therefore acts as switches.Analog - Receptor keleptor moleute Enterior way 610 -GPCR o o CBD - PLC- B Pipo cytoplasm tans membrane alpha Blv sukund subu
