Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The signal transduction pathway and the cellular response in the given figure.

Introduction:

The eukaryotes have a special type of transmembrane receptors that are present in the plasma membrane. These are signaling molecules that interact with a particular type of proteins called G-proteins based on their binding ability with the nucleotide guanosine triphosphate and guanosine diphosphate, GTP and GDP respectively.
