What are the 4 superfamilies of receptors
Ligand gated Ion channels,GPCR, kinase, Nuclear
1 of 18
What are the main targets for drugs
enzymes, carriers, ion channels, receptors
2 of 18
why is angiotensin a good example of specicifity
the peptide acts strongly vascular smooth muscle and kidneys, but not on other mooth muscle or epitelium
3 of 18
how are specificity and potency related
higher specificity = lower potency. So the lower the potency of the drug the higher the dose needed leading to more side effect
4 of 18
How do ligand gated ion channels bring about effect
ions cause hyper/depolarisation to bing about effect in ms, this is the fastest response
5 of 18
Give an example of ligand gated ion channels
neurotransmitters AcH
6 of 18
what are GPCR receptors
metabotropic receptors, change excitability this takes secs
7 of 18
give an example of GPCR
Muscanaric receptors AcH
8 of 18
what are kinase linked receptors how do they bring about change
pathway: ligand binding, protein phosphorylation, gene transcription, protein synthesis,
9 of 18
Give an example of kinase linked receptors
cytokine receptors, Hourly basis
10 of 18
nuclear receptors
take hours or days, cause changes at the DNA,
11 of 18
give an example of nuclear receptors
oestrogen
12 of 18
What are the structures of ligand gated ion channels
4/5 transmembrane domains n and c domain on the same side
13 of 18
What is the structure of GPCRs
7 transmembrane domain, n and c on different sides
14 of 18
What is the structure of kinase linked receptor
linked to a kinase (tyrosine usually) one single transmembrane domain and n and c on either side of membrane
15 of 18
What is the structure of nuclear receptors
no nucler spanning domains - sinsce they are either in cytoplsm or nucleus. They have zinc fingers - important consitutent for receptor pathwaway
16 of 18
What is the prototypical example of a ligand gated ion channel, and give an outline
nicotinic acetyl choline receptor nAChr. Is a pore, has a pentameric structure, diffferent subtypes based on alpha or beta or a mix. 2AcH bind, causing a conf change in alpha helices, opening the pore, allowing Na+, leading to depolaisation,
17 of 18
Where are nAcH receptors found
neuromusclar junction -autonomic gangia -CNS -presynapticly located
