Receptor superfamilies - Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

competitive antagonist correct answer: an agonist that "competes" for the same binding site as another substance only blocks endogenous ligand, cannot activate receptor reversible competition Competitive antagonists cause a _____ shift in the drug response curve correct answer: rightward T/F: Competitive antagonism can be surmounted by adding more agonist correct answer: True! With enough agonist, you can flood the receptors so that the angonist out competes the competitive antagon...

ligand-gated ion channel superfamily Notes all those notes should prepare you for the written exam, good luck:)

Cell Signaling -Discuss the differences between local signaling and long-distance cellular communication -Describe the three stages of cell signaling. Receptor Proteins -Know what receptor proteins are, where they are located, and what they do -Know the three cell surface receptor superfamilies, the basic structures of each and how each functions to convert an extracellular signal to an internal one. -Differentiate between intracellular receptors and cell surface receptors in terms of func...
