Question
Chapter 17.4, Problem 27AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The function of G protein in altering the permeability and the synthesis of cAMP along with examples.
Introduction:
A signal transduction pathway is a group of proteins and polysaccharides that carry the signals generated by the binding of the signaling molecule. The signals carried, leading to conformational changes in the proteins that further trigger a cascade of reactions leading to a cellular response.
