Writing | Snow Moon G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) guide cellular responses to environmental signals, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and chemokines. This process is achieved through a complex biochemical cycle mediated by heterotrimeric G protein. After GPCR binds to the ligand, the G α subunit binds to GTP, becomes active, and separates from the G β – γ complex and GPCR. The separated G α – guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and free G β – γ initiate downstream signaling, including the generation of second messengers, biochemical interactions, and ion channel changes. The GTPase activity of G α hydrolyzes GTP to guanosine diphosphate (GDP), thereby terminating signal transduction and allowing Gabg to reassemble with GPCRs, enabling cells to respond to reactivation of GPCRs. In the G α protein family, the Gai/o family includes inhibitory subtypes that regulate biological responses by inhibiting the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by adenyl cyclase AC. AC ...
