Activation of G-protein coupled receptors by their ligands results in a diverse number of changes in cell behavior. Adrenaline binding to the β-adrenergic receptor results in the transcription of cAMP responsive gene. In the space below, indicate which steps in this signal transduction pathway are amplified (two sentences).

Steroid hormone receptors cause changes in gene expression by phosphorylating transcription factors. They directly activate transcription, activate second messengers, and activate adenylyl cyclase, which in turn opens ion channels.
