What is the role of cAMP in the signal transduction pathway activated by epinephrine?

It binds to and activates protein kinase A, which then phosphorylates other enzymes.


Is cAMP is converted to form ADP.?

No, cyclic AMP (cAMP) is not converted to ADP. cAMP is a second messenger that plays a role in signaling pathways, and it is typically degraded to AMP by the enzyme phosphodiesterase. ADP (adenosine diphosphate), on the other hand, is a different nucleotide involved in energy transfer and cellular metabolism.


Camps on mount Everest?

There are camps on both sides of Mount Everest: North (Tibet) side camps: Base Camp: 17,000ft --- ABC: 21,300ft --- Camp 1: 23,000ft --- Camp 2: 24,750ft --- Camp 3: 25,600ft --- Camp 4: 27,400ft South (Nepal) side camps: Base Camp: 17,400ft --- Camp 1: 19,600ft --- Camp 2: 20,700ft --- Camp 3: 23,000ft --- Camp 4: 26,100ft


What role does cyclic AMP play for most hormones?

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) serves as a second messenger for many hormones. When hormones bind to their specific receptors on the cell membrane, it triggers a cascade of biochemical events that lead to the production of cAMP. cAMP then activates other signaling molecules, such as protein kinase A, which regulate various cellular processes, including gene expression, metabolism, and cell growth.


What hormone lowers c AMP concentration in liver cells is?

The hormone that lowers cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentration in liver cells is insulin. Insulin activates phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that breaks down cAMP, leading to a decrease in its levels. This action counteracts the effects of glucagon and catecholamines, which typically raise cAMP levels and promote glucose release from the liver. As a result, insulin plays a crucial role in regulating glucose homeostasis.
