Describe the series of events that occurs when a ligand binds to a receptor tyrosine kinase during cellular signalling, and what occurs once the ligand is removed?

Describe the series of events that occurs before and after a ligand binds to a G protein coupled receptor during cellular signalling?

Solutions

Expert Solution

TKR (Tyrosine Kinase Receptor) is very important signalling molecule for downstream response and any abnormality in this pathway can cause serious consequences including diseases like cancer. Detail of this receptor is given below:

GPCR is another important receptor and also known as seven transmembrane receptor and it is described through a flow diagram and given below:

Q. Draw a map of how the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) links to the Ras-Map Kinase Pathway versus the PI3K/AKT Pathway. Be sure to include where these pathways end up - the cellular response. Keep in mind that Ras-Map and PI3K/AKT are at the top of the pathway. I want you to pick a direction coming down. Your textbook can help get you started, but you will have to research/Google where these pathways go. While there are many possible directions,...
