Chapter 18, Problem 21RQ
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The mechanism in which blocking the activity of the phosphodiesterase enzyme will affect the cell that responds to hormonal simulation by cAMP second messenger system.

Concept introduction:

Phosphodiesterase is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking the phosphodiester bond. There are many different types of phosphodiesterases. For example: RNases, DNases, sphingomyelin, restriction endonucleases and so on. They are important regulators for the signal transduction mediated by the secondary messenger molecules.

How would the presence of a molecule that blocks adenylate cyclase affect the activity of a hormone that produces cellular effects through cAMP?
Trace in a stepwise manner the signaling pathway that involves a g-protein receptor leading to the release of intracellular calcium. Specify what class of hormones would be involved in this pathway.
