Question
Chapter 45, Problem 12TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: How melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) enables skin color change and distribution in frog based on its surrounding and how neuroendocrine signals activate MSH.
Concept introduction:
In neuroendocrine pathway, sensory neurons stimulate neurosecretory cells to release neurohormones. Like endocrine hormones, neurohormones reach their target receptors via the bloodstream. MSH is a peptide hormone produced by skin, pituitary and hypothalamus. It stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin pigment.

- What effect will a cAMP inhibitor have on a peptide hormone-mediated signaling pathway? It will prevent the hormone from binding its receptor It will prevent activation of a G-protein It will prevent activation of adenylate cyclase It will prevent activation of protein kinases.arrow_forwardA scientist observes a mutation in the transmembrane region of EGFR that eliminates its ability to be stabilized by binding interactions during dimerization after ligand binding. Which hypothesis regarding the effect of this mutation on EGF signaling is most likely to be correct? EGF signaling cascades would be active for longer in the cell. EGF signaling cascades would be active for a shorter period of time in the cell. EGF signaling cascades would not occur. EGF signaling would be unaffected.arrow_forwardDescribe three different responses of a cell-surfacereceptor on binding a signaling molecule and undergoing aconformational change.arrow_forward
