What is bound to the G protein in the inactive state?

GDP. Guanine diphosphate. Then the protein is phosphorylated and undergoes a conformational change in concert with its docking with the G protein linked receptor.


What are two important second messengers used in the G protein-linked receptor mechanism?

i think its calcium ions


How does a transmembrane receptor cause the stimulation of a cell does it take something from the chemokine and feed it through its transversile midsection and into the cell giving it to a transport?

N. Take a G protein linked receptor for an example. The ligand docks and causes a conformational change that causes a G protein to dock with the transmember protein receptor and initiate signal transduction through secondary messengers.

What is the difference of g-protein receptor system and tyrosine kinase receptor?

Receptor tyrosine kinases do not require the use of second messengers while G protein-coupled receptors need.

If your protein is fairly low and you work out on a regular basis what changes will you notice once you start taking a protein supplement?

You may be able to build muscle mass quicker, you'll also be able to drop fat quicker. G-proteins are trimeric, found on cytoplasmic side. Note that they are called G-protein coupled receptors (receptor protein that are coupled to G-proteins) receptor proteins vary but GCPR have common G-proteins transducing signal. e.g.: receptor protein could be 7TM for examplenecessary for growth of muscles


What is the role of G protein-coupled receptor?

To accept the ligand that properly fits the receptor sit. Then the G protein is activated and GDP is phosphorylated to GTP and the protein goes on to begin signal transduction in one of several ways open to G proteins.

Why g protein are coupled receptors?

The receptor it self is a trans-membrane protein and doesn't act as an ion channel further more the G-protein involves several functions by its different subunits (G-alph: activation of PLC and adenylcyclase. and G-beta,gamma: activation of potassium channel) and the receptor is coupled with more than one G-protein which lead to amplification of the signal. So G-protein could be possibly evolved to do several functions and amplify them by one receptor
