Document Summary

Change workings of the cell, excitability of the cell, how much energy the cell uses, Inhibitors of p-glycoproteins-enhances action of certain drugs in the cns. The book discusses a variety of proteins that work closely with snares, such as synaptotagmin, secs, and muncs. Receptors to 2 types of effector proteins (ion channels & enzymes: g-proteins couple with intracellular effector systems, 6 different kinds of g proteins: tongue, light transduction, etc. Ip3 and dag: membrane phospholipid with fatty acid chains, phospholipase c (plc)-enzyme coupled w g-proteins; catalyzes breakdown of. Phospoatidylinositol: lithium-helps treat mania; enhances actions of antidepressants in depression; inhibits second messengers, thapsigargan-small molecule known to inhibit ca+ release, ryanodine receptor-triggers release of ca+ from intracellular stores in response to a rise in. The chapter mentions nmda receptors playing a role in triggering excitotoxicity. How do muscarinic and nictonic receptors compare to inotropic & metabotropic receptors as we discussed in chapter.
