19Amino acid hormones (except thyroid hormones) bind to [blank_start]receptors[blank_end] in the plasma membrane and then act via intracellular [blank_start]second[blank_end] messengers. This is called the [blank_start]Cyclic[blank_end] [blank_start]AMP[blank_end] [blank_start]signaling[blank_end] mechanism.
- Areceptors
- Bsecond
- CCyclic
- DAMP
- Esignaling
20Cyclic AMP signaling mechanism steps
1. [blank_start]Hormone binds to membr. receptor[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Recptr binds & actv G protein @ cell mem[blank_end]
3. [blank_start]G protein actv. adenylate cyclase[blank_end]
4. [blank_start]Adenylate cyclase conv ATP to cyclic AMP[blank_end]
5. [blank_start]cAMP activates protein kinases[blank_end]
6. [blank_start]Protein kinases phosphorylate proteins[blank_end]- AHormone binds to membr. receptor
- BRecptr binds & actv G protein @ cell mem
- CG protein actv. adenylate cyclase
- DAdenylate cyclase conv ATP to cyclic AMP
- EcAMP activates protein kinases

21The Cyclic AMP signaling mechanism has a [blank_start]hormone[blank_end] first messenger and a [blank_start]cAMP[blank_end] second messenger.
- Ahormone
- BcAMP
22The cyclic AMP signaling mechanism starts with a [blank_start]hormone[blank_end] (first messenger) binding to a [blank_start]membrane[blank_end] receptor. The receptor binds and activates [blank_start]G protein[blank_end] at the cell [blank_start]membrane[blank_end]. This activates [blank_start]adenylate cyclase[blank_end] (enzyme), which converts ATP to [blank_start]cyclic AMP[blank_end] (second messenger). The second messenger activates [blank_start]protein kinases[blank_end] which then [blank_start]phosphorylate[blank_end] proteins.
- Ahormone
- Bmembrane
- CG protein
- Dmembrane
- Eadenylate cyclase
- Fcyclic AMP
- Gprotein kinases
- Hphosphorylate
23In the cyclic AMP signaling mechanism, each adenylate cyclase generates [blank_start]many[blank_end] cAMP molecules which then activates protein kinases which phosphorylates [blank_start]many[blank_end] proteins triggering a [blank_start]cascade[blank_end] of chemical reactions called the [blank_start]amplification[blank_end] effect.
- Amany
- Bmany
- Ccascade
- Damplification
24Action of cAMP is brief because it is rapidly degraded by enzyme [blank_start]phosphodiesterase[blank_end].
- Aphosphodiesterase
25It is OK for cAMP to be broken down because of the [blank_start]amplification effect[blank_end].
- Aamplification effect
26Intracellular receptors and direct gene activation steps:
1. [blank_start]Diffuse into target cells[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]bind to and actv. intracellular receptor[blank_end]
3. [blank_start]Recp-horm complex enters nucleus[blank_end] &
[blank_start]binds to specific region of DNA[blank_end]
4. [blank_start]Binding to DNA "turns on" a gene[blank_end]
[blank_start]initiates transcription of DNA to mRNA[blank_end]
5. [blank_start]mRNA exits nucleus & binds to ribosomes[blank_end]
6. [blank_start]mRNA is translated[blank_end]

- Bmetabolism
28Target cell activation depends on the three factors:
1. [blank_start]blood levels[blank_end] of hormone

30What is the stimuli?
[blank_start]neural[blank_end] - nervous system fibers stimulate adrenal medulla to secrete catecholamines in response to stress
[blank_start]humoral[blank_end] - Blood Ca2+ monitored by parathyroid gland (releases PTH when levels are low)
[blank_start]hormonal[blank_end] - hypothalamus hormones stimulate release of most anterior pituitary hormones which then stimulate other endocrine glands to release their hormones- Aneural

37After hormones have exerted their effects, most hormones are removed from the blood and broken down by the [blank_start]kidneys[blank_end] and [blank_start]liver[blank_end]. The resulting breakdown products are excreted in the [blank_start]urine[blank_end] and [blank_start]feces[blank_end].
