Glycoprotein
Types of membrane receptors
1. GPCR
2. Ion Channel
3. Tyrosine kinase
4. cytokine
5. Serine/Threonine
G alpha s
G stimulatory receptor, increases cAMP, PKA and gene expression
G alpha i
Inhibitory, prevents cAMP production
GRK
G protein receptor kinase - turns off G alpha s
G alpha q
results in Ca2+ release from ER, involves IP3
Tyrosine Kinase receptor
Insulin and growth factors, phosphorylates MAPK and ERK to elicit cellular response
Cytoquine receptor
ex: JAK Stack. Stat binds around DNA. SOCS reduces signal by competing with Stat.
Nuclear receptors bind:
sex steroids, glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, D3, and thyroid hormones
general structure of nuclear receptor:
Transactivation domain, DNA binding domain, Hormone binding domain
Posterior pituitary hormones:
ADH and Oxytocin
Regulation of oxytocin secretion:
1. myometrial contractions
2. cervix stimulation
3. milk ejection
* positive feedback - contractions
Where is ADH synthesized?
magnocellular cells of the hypothalamus
ADH effects:
smooth muscle: vasoconstriction
kidney: water retention
ant. pituitary: corticotropin release
ADH location in kidney
distal collecting tubule
Diabetes insipidus types
hypothalamic, pregnancy, nephrogenic - due to lack of ADH or inappropriate response
Aldosterone Effects
NA+ retention, K+ and H+ elimination
Aldosterone origin
Zona glomerulosa of adrenal gland, it's a steroid hormone
Aldosterone regulation
ANP inhibits aldosterone, aldosteron stimulated by low Na, low BP, and high K+, increase in angiotensin II.
11BHSD2
oxidizes cortisol in aldosterone sensitive cells
Parathyroid hormone
Acts to increase free Calcium in the blood. Increased blood [Ca] decreases PTH output.
Parathyroid effect on bone
Effects osteoblasts to produce RANKL. Osteoclasts have RANK receptors, this causes them to resorb bone.
Calcium's effect on calcitonin
increased free calcium in blood causes high calcitonin levels
Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3)
active form of vitamin D3. goes through two reactions, one in liver, one in kidney
Effects of Calcitriol
1. increases absorption of Ca in gut
2. decreases loss of Ca in kidney
3. increases release of Ca from bone.
PTH effect on Calcitriol
Increases Calcitriol
Calcitonin effect on osteoclasts
breaks seal between osteoclast and bone, making bone resorption less effective
Slow effect of PTH
increase in CYP1alpha, which increases Calcitriol, which increases Ca absorption
Rapid effect of PTH
Increased Ca reabsorption in kidney, increased bone resorption
Estradiol effect on Ca
stimulates Ca reabsorption, absorption, and bone formation
Cortisol
inhibits Ca reabsorption, Ca absorption, and bone formation
PTH as treatment for osteoporosis
Increased PTH can increase osteoclasts and bone loss. Intermittent, low dose PTH can increase osteoblasts.
Primary hyperparathyroidism
increases bone resorption ->osteopororis, kidney stones, hypercalciuria, increased calcitriol
Hypoparathyroidism
low PTH, decreased Pi excretion, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia.decreased calcitriol. no bone problems
Vitamin D deficiency
Decreased [Ca]. deficient mineralization (osteomalacia in adults, rickets in children)
Renal failure effect on Ca
No production of calcitriol (reduced Ca absorption) Increased [Pi] in serum. High PTH.
CRH in pregnancy
Increases toward the end, helps create surfactant, made by fetal placenta.
High estrogen effects on uterus in pregnancy
strengthens smooth muscle, creates gap jxns so they all contract at once, increases oxytocin receptors in myometrium
3 steps for sperm to surpass zona pellucida
a. sperm bind zp3
b. undergo acrosome reaction and bind zp2
c. become competent to penetrate zp
CD9
creates fusion pore for sperm to penetrate egg
Growth hormone on fat
increases mobilization of fat from adipose tissue
Grown hormone on sugar
increases plasma glucose
inhibits muscle uptake of glucose
Perchlorate action
competitively blocks iodide uptake
methomidazole, 6npropylthiouracil
inhibit organification and coupling
Lithium
inhibits thyroid hormone release
