Questions and Answers

What is the role of G-proteins in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling?

  • G-proteins are always in an active state and directly bind to the ligands for signal transduction
  • G-proteins are responsible for isolating receptors using affinity chromatography
  • G-proteins are only involved in the discovery of GPCRs and do not play a role in signal transduction
  • G-proteins can be in active or inactive states and help in signal transduction by hydrolyzing GTP (correct)
  • What is the primary function of ligands in cell communication?

  • Ligands are responsible for isolating receptors using affinity chromatography
  • Ligands act as GTP-binding proteins to regulate signal transduction
  • Ligands directly initiate the response in the target cell without the involvement of receptor proteins
  • Ligands are signaling molecules that bind to receptor proteins to initiate the process of signal transduction (correct)
  • Which type of cell communication is used for long-distance signaling?

  • Endocrine (correct)
  • Paracrine
  • Synaptic
  • Autocrine
