What is the purpose of having a sex hormone binding protein within the blood stream? What is the purpose of having a specific receptor for estrogen within the cell? The estrogen receptor binding domain has many known mutations that effect estrogen binding and result in breast cancer. One particular mutation found at aspartic acid is changed to glycine in cancer patients. Draw a potential interaction with the side chain of this aspartic acid with estrogen (name and label it) and how a mutation to glycine could affect this ability to efficiently bind to estrogen. 6.

Thyroid peroxidase iodinates tyrosine residues within the thyroglobulin protein, and this enzymatic reaction occurs in the cytoplasm of follicular cells of the thyroid gland. True False. Although the thyroid gland releases far more thyroxine (T4) that triiodothyronine (T3), it is T3 that is the active hormone that regulates gene expression in target cells. True False In Gravesâ disease, circulating levels of both thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and TSH are very low compared to a normal person. True False I do not need explanation. I need just the answer.
Protein-X has a calcium (Ca²+)-binding regulatory subunit. Upon calcium (Ca²+) binding the protein changes its own conformation resulting in the conformation change of protein-Y. As a result of this calcium (Ca²+)-dependent protein-X mediated conformational change protein-Y exposes the myosin II head binding sites on the skeletal muscle actin filaments. Identify the protein-X and protein-Y from the following choices. O Protein-X: Troponin; Protein-Y: Tropomysosin O Protein-X: Tropomodulin; CapZ O Protein-X: Nebulin; Protein-Y: Titin Protein-X: Tropomysosin; Protein-Y: Tropomodulin
Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of various conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat, high serum triglycerides, and low high-density lipoproteins. Scientists studying metabolic syndrome cultured fibroblast cells from a metabolic syndrome patient and a healthy volunteer and challenged the cells to 100 nM insulin. Ten minutes after the stimulus was applied, they used a protein immunoblot to measure the amount of phosphorylated insulin receptor in the cultures. Use the passage to answer the question. The level of insulin in the blood is regulated by negative feedback. Which observation MOST supports this model? A. Insulin secretion increases metabolic syndrome symptoms. B. Insulin secretion decreases metabolic syndrome symptoms. C. Insulin receptor phosphorylation increases insulin secretion. D. Insulin receptor phosphorylation decreases insulin secretion.

Many currently marketed drugs exert their pharmacological effects by binding to ligand-activated transcription factors and modulating gene expression. One example, are various drugs that target the estrogen receptor to treat breast cancer, osteoporosis and post-menopausal symptoms. Below is a ChIP experiment examining the effects of no drug treatment (C), the natural hormone estrogen (E) and the drugs tamoxifen (T) and raloxifene (R) on recruitment of coactivators (SRC-1 and CBP), Histone Deacetylase Complexes (HDACs) and acetylation of histones associated with the C-myc gene. Which of the following statements are correct based on this data (select all that apply)?
