Ion-channel coupled receptors Examples Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) GABA receptors Glutamate receptors Serotonin receptors Ligand-gated channels Voltage-gated channels Mechanically-gated channels Also known as transmitter-gated ion channels, ligand-gated ion channels or inotropic receptors Rapid synaptic signalling Mediate most forms of electrical signalling in the nervous system Dr Katja Vogt 2. G-protein coupled receptors Seven-transmembrane domain receptor & Trimeric GTP-binding protein (G-protein) Target protein can be enzyme or also ion channel Largest family of cell-surface receptors Linked to either cAMP or phosphoinositol signalling pathway Examples Rhodopsin Olfactory receptors Serotonin Dr Katja Vogt Some trip wires… Two classes of GABA receptors: GABAA and GABAB. – GABAA receptors  ligand-gated ion channels – GABAB receptors  G protein-coupled receptors Serotonin and Acetylcholine receptors have both ligand gated ion channel and G-coupled receptors within their family Dr Katja Vogt Three different G proteins Gs proteins Gi proteins Gq proteins Adenyla Adenyla te te PLC cyclase cyclase cAMP DA IP3 G Stimulate adenylate Inhibit adenylate Activate phospholipase C cyclase (↑ cAMP) cyclase (↓ cAMP) (↑PKC, ↑[Ca2+]i) Examples Examples Examples β-adrenergic receptors α2-adrenergic α1-adrenergic receptor for receptors M2 receptors M1 adrenocorticotropic muscarinic receptors muscarinic receptors hormone (ACTH) opioid receptors vasopressin receptor Dr Katja Vogt Adrenergic Receptors Group of G coupled receptors Subgroups: – Alpha receptors: a1  Gq protein coupled a2  Gi protein coupled – Beta receptors: b1, b2, b3 all Gs coupled Twitter: @katjetz E-mail: [email protected] BSc Medical Sciences TSH Dr Katja Vogt TSH signalling Causes increased synthesis and secretion of thyroxine Transient effect via diacyl glycerol (DAG) Persistent effect via cAMP Calebrio 2010 Twitter: @katjetz E-mail: [email protected] 2 BSc Medical Sciences 6 Dr Katja Vogt 3.
