Which of the molecules are used as second messengers in signal transduction pathways? - Calcium ions - cAMP - Epinephrine - G-protein
Sri K.
Consider this pathway: epinephrine $\rightarrow$ G protein-coupled receptor $\rightarrow$ G protein $\rightarrow$ adenylyl cyclase $\rightarrow$ cAMP. Identify the second messenger. a. cAMP c. GTP b. G protein d. adenylyl cyclase
G proteins (a) relay a message from an activated receptor to an enzyme that activates a second messenger (b) are CTP molecules (c) terminate cell signaling (d) directly activate protein kinases (e) function as first messengers
