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.
The receptor for a group of signaling molecules known as growth factors are often?
receptor tyrosine kinases
What is Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase?
It is an enzyme vital for the maturation of B cells
What is the similarity of G-protein receptor system and Tyrosine-kinase receptor system?
both are plasma membrane receptors located at the cell surface's membrane. both are proteins that are hydrophilic and therefore cannot cross the lipid bilayer and requires second messengers to communicate with the nucleus of cells. activation of the receptors will activate other molecules in the activating cascades and the numbers of affected molecules will increase geometrically. however, activation of such receptors will cause desensitization/adaptation of the receptors themselves. the disability to desensitize can result to serious diseases such as cancer.

What ARE 4 types of receptor proteins?
Four types of receptor proteins include: G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) - These receptors activate intracellular signaling cascades through the binding of ligands and the activation of G-proteins. Ion Channel Receptors - These receptors facilitate the flow of ions across the cell membrane in response to ligand binding, leading to changes in cell membrane potential. Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) - These receptors have intrinsic kinase activity that, when activated by ligand binding, leads to phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on themselves and other proteins, initiating various signaling pathways. Nuclear Receptors - These receptors, located in the cytoplasm or nucleus, bind to specific ligands (like hormones) and regulate gene expression by acting as transcription factors.
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.
What membrane receptor undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation?
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are membrane receptors that undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation upon ligand binding. This activation leads to the recruitment and activation of downstream signaling molecules in the cell.
Growth factor hormones such as insulin bind to which type of receptor?
tyrosine kinase receptor!!
How are the g-protein receptor system and tyrosine-kinase receptor system different.?
The G-protein receptor system and tyrosine-kinase receptor system are two distinct mechanisms of signal transduction. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activate intracellular signaling through the binding of G-proteins, which then trigger various downstream effects, often involving second messengers like cAMP or calcium ions. In contrast, tyrosine-kinase receptors, upon ligand binding, undergo dimerization and autophosphorylation, leading to the activation of multiple signaling pathways primarily involved in growth and differentiation. Thus, the main difference lies in their mechanisms of activation and the types of cellular responses they mediate.

What happens after insulin binds to GPCR?
Insulin does not bind to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs); instead, it binds to the insulin receptor, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase. Upon binding, the insulin receptor undergoes autophosphorylation and activates its intrinsic kinase activity, leading to the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins. This triggers various signaling pathways, including the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, which promotes glucose uptake and metabolism. Other pathways, such as the MAPK pathway, can also be activated, influencing cell growth and differentiation.
What happens when tyrosine kinase receptors are activated?
When tyrosine kinase receptors are activated, they trigger a series of signaling pathways within the cell that can lead to various cellular responses, such as cell growth, differentiation, and survival. This activation plays a crucial role in regulating important cellular processes and functions.
What is tyrosine kinase receptor dimerization. Receptor polymorphism and dimerization in drug design?
Tyrosine kinases are present in the membrane as separate entities that are able to dimerize with one another when bound to a ligand...for this reason most TK ligands are multivalent (thus can bind multiple TK's and cluster them with the ability to dimerize for activation...a dimer is simply two TK's together. I suppose I would need a better understanding of what you mean by the latter part of the question. Receptors can be influenced by polymorphisms (different "formula" variations that are expressed in populations which influence binding...Ex replacing a neutral amino acid with a positive affects binding correct?....As far as dimerization as it relates to drug design I must first confess that I'm not a pharmacologist... however my guess would be that they would want to make their products multivalent so that they bind multiple TK's so that they are able to dimerize...(this is merely a guess)
