Question
Chapter 9, Problem 11RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The receptor that leads to a fall in cyclic AMP within the target cell when it binds with norepinephrine.
Introduction:
Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter and the effect of a neurotransmitter in the target cell depends on its receptors in the target cell. The effect of a neurotransmitter can vary in a target cell due to different varieties of receptors present in it.

- In relation to Cushing’s Syndrome, a method that some scientists have used to treat the disease is to use small molecules that bind to, but do not activate, MC2R. This type of molecule is considered an antagonist. How can an antagonist bind to the same receptor as ACTH but not activate it ? a. The antagonist binds covalently while ACTH binds non covalently b. The antagonist is only partially complimentary to the binding pocket of MC2R c. The antagonist binds to ACTH and blocks it from binding to the receptor properly d. The antagonist is the exact same structure as ACTH but since it is synthetic it doesn’t workarrow_forwardIf a cell were to express both alpha-1 and beta adrenergic receptors what would the expected response to epinephrine/ adrenaline be ? a.
