Explain why "transduction" does not occur for signaling pathways that employ an intracellular receptor.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution

Intracellular receptor has intrinsic transcriptional activity because it contains

DNA binding domain
Ligand binding domain
Transcriptional activating domain

So there is no need of secondory messanger and protein kinase phosphorylation cascade for acheive targeted responce or effect in signal transduction.

So no need of signal transduction cascade because its ligands are small and hydrophobic and ligand binding domain also hydrobhobic in nature.

Complete answer is explained in following image.

The delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) interaction with Cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) follows the beta-arrestin pathways for signaling and desensitization. Describe the signaling pathway/s for CB1R starting from the THC binding. Your answer should include, and define, the following terms. Adenylyl cyclase, c-AMP, protein kinase B (Akt) , protien kinase A (PKA), inhibition, beta -arrestin, GRK, and desensitization.
