No, G proteins do not act as second messengers. Instead, they are signaling molecules that transmit signals from cell surface receptors to downstream effectors such as enzymes or ion channels. G proteins can activate or inhibit these effectors in response to extracellular stimuli.

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 activates a G protein?
G protein is activated when a ligand (such as a hormone or neurotransmitter) binds to a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) on the cell membrane, causing a conformational change. This change allows GTP to bind to the G protein, replacing GDP, and activating the G protein to carry out downstream signaling cascades.
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

What is the 1st messenger of Cyclic AMP and cGMP?
The first messenger for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a hormone or ligand that binds to a G protein-coupled receptor, leading to activation of adenylate cyclase and conversion of ATP to cAMP. For cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), the first messenger is typically nitric oxide (NO) which activates guanylyl cyclase leading to the production of cGMP from GTP.

Is GTP considered a second messenger?
GTP (guanosine triphosphate) is not typically classified as a second messenger; instead, it is a nucleotide that serves primarily as an energy source in cellular processes and as a substrate for RNA synthesis. However, GTP can play a role in signal transduction, particularly through G-proteins, which are activated by GTP binding. When a G-protein is activated, it can then influence other signaling pathways, effectively functioning in a manner similar to second messengers. Thus, while GTP itself is not a second messenger, it is integral to the activity of proteins that mediate second messenger pathways.
What is the link between a first messenger and a second messenger in a cell that responds to peptide hormones?
Peptide hormones bind to cell surface receptors, activating signaling pathways that involve the generation of second messengers within the cell. The first messenger (peptide hormone) triggers the activation of specific proteins or enzymes that then generate the second messenger molecules, such as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) or inositol trisphosphate (IP3), initiating a cascade of cellular responses.

Who got noble prize for discovering G protein?
G proteins were discovered when Alfred G. Gilman and Martin Rodbell investigated stimulation of cells by adrenaline. They found that, when adrenaline binds to a receptor, the receptor does not stimulate enzymes directly. Instead, the receptor stimulates a G protein, which stimulates an enzyme. An example is adenylate cyclase, which produces the second messenger cyclic AMP. For this discovery, they won the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

What Neurotransmitter receptors activate second messengers systems.?
Neurotransmitter receptors that activate second messenger systems include G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and some receptor tyrosine kinases. When a neurotransmitter binds to a GPCR, it triggers a conformational change that activates intracellular G proteins, which in turn can modulate various second messengers like cyclic AMP (cAMP) and inositol triphosphate (IP3). These second messengers then initiate a cascade of cellular responses, influencing processes such as gene expression and cell signaling. Examples include dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine receptors.
