Students have asked these similar questions
In liver and muscle, epinephrine stimulation of the cAMP pathway activates glycogen breakdown and inhibits glycogen synthesis, whereas in adipose tissue, epinephrine activates hydrolysis of triglycerides, and in other cells, it causes a diversity of other responses. What step in the cAMP signaling pathways in these cells specifies the cell response?
What are the three main parts of a signaling pathway? Give a detailed specific example, such as how epinephrine signals for rapid digestion of glycogen in liver cells.
(a) Predict the effect of a mutation that enhances the activity of the kinase associated with the PDH complex. (b) Predict the effect of a mutation that reduces the activity of the phosphatase associated with the PDH complex.
