Why are G-protein-gated ion channels called the shortcut pathway?

All action of neurotransmitter is eventually (mostly) manifest in the regulation of ion in nerve cell, to decide when to fire or not an action potential. Regulation of ion utilize the ion channel, and there are three (known) mechanism which affect the opening and closing of an ion channel : 1) direct influence - ion channel which is directly activated by neurotransmitter attached to them, this one is called ¨Transmitter Gated Channel¨ 2) shortcut pathways - ion channel which is activated by G-protein, this is called the ¨G-protein-gated ion channels¨ 3) second messenger cascades - G-protein trigger a chain reaction of chemical through enzyme or other class of protein and finally affect the opening and closing of ion channels


What is unusual about the protein sequence "vdaataekvfkqy"?

The protein sequence "vdaataekvfkqy" is unusual because it does not follow the typical pattern or structure of a known protein sequence. It may not match any known protein or have a specific function in the body.


Diffusion with a channel protein?

Channel proteins facilitate the passive movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. They form channels across the cell membrane, allowing specific molecules to move in and out of the cell without requiring energy input. This process is known as facilitated diffusion.


How do ions diffuse across cell membranes?

Ions diffuse across cell membranes through protein channels or transporters that allow them to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This process is known as passive transport and does not require energy from the cell.

Particles move through protein doorways is what?

Particles move through protein doorways, known as channels or pores, by binding to specific sites in the protein structure that can open and close to allow passage. These channels help regulate the flow of ions and molecules across cell membranes, ensuring proper communication and function within cells. The process of particle movement through protein doorways is essential for various cellular processes, including nutrient uptake and cellular signaling.
