Cell signaling

The disease is caused by unequal crossing over is the Alagille syndrome. Its signs and symptoms depend on which part of the body it affected. If it affects the liver, its signs and symptoms are jaundice, itchy skin, and xanthomas. Most people who have this disorder usually “have distinctive facial features including a broad, prominent forehead; deep-set eyes; and a small, pointed chin” (NIH, 2016). This disease is associated with other diseases such as pulmonic stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot.…

resorption, tumor cell invasion, and pH homeostasis. There has been a better understanding of the structure and mechanism of V-ATPases. Another thing brought to light, are the mechanisms that occur to regulate its activity in cells. This includes the V¬1 and V0 domain assembly and the regulation of the V-ATPases. The final section of the journal focuses on emerging functions which includes its involvement in cancer and cell signaling. V-ATPases are proton pumps present within…

A. The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates. The phospholipids and cholesterol both help create the roof of the cell membrane and they both regulate the fluidity of the cell membrane. The proteins in the cell membrane help provide a structural function, transport function, and signaling function all within the membrane (Yeagle, 1989). The carbohydrates are on the external side of the cell membrane. Also the carbohydrates provide a signaling function…

the world. This project sheds light on the mystery novel that allows ZIKV invasion and infection the host cells. A penetration process of ZIKA virus occurs by binding with Gas6 protein or (Growth arrest-specific 6) that leads to activate the Axl protein and release a downstream cascade of signaling within the cells, moreover, Axl signaling plays a significant role in protecting the human cell from stranger guests through a marvelous process called fluid-phase uptake. The hypothesis is a ZIKA…

A receptor is a molecule usually found on the surface of the cell and receiving signals (chemical or hormonal) from outside the cell. Receptors belong to class of proteins. Binding of some substance to the receptor brings about changes that direct the actions of cell containing receptor. Ligand is the molecule that binds to the receptor and it can be a peptide, a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or a toxin etc. Each receptor possesses two functional domains: recognition domain that binds the…

In the cell, you have a vast majority of organelles that perform as needed today to support it. These organelles must go by a certain way of processing each of its duties to keep it alive and healthy. It’s like an auto body factory. When one thing goes wrong it causes problems throughout the entire cell. This could cause major discrepancies and dysfunctions that would most likely cause the human body to shut down due to illness, sickness, disease or more severely, death. So it’s a must these…

into a cell against its concentration gradient. This type of action is known as active transport because it needs the energy to be able to move the ions against their concentration gradient. Generally, the solutes being pushed in or out of a cell will go from a low concentration gradient to a high concentration gradient. The sodium-potassium pump is crucial to kidney function, nerve signaling, and heart contractions in the human body. The pump will continuously sodium ions (Na+) out of the cell…

water. It is also embedded in bilayer and serves a variety of functions in the human body which includes such as regulating membrane fluidity in animals. It also helps maintain the integrity of these membranes, and plays a role in facilitating cell signaling…

Cells signals can be mainly described as chemical, prokaryotes have sensors capable of detecting nutrients which helps them find food these signals can either be long distance or short distance some of the short distance could be found in muscle cells and a long distance can be describe as the releasing of an egg in the ovaries. Cells have protein receptors which will bind to protein signaling molecules triggering a respond in the molecules. Different receptors are specific for different…

living organisms are made up of cells. Different types of organisms require different cellular structures to function properly. Eukaryotes are structurally more complex than prokaryotes. While prokaryotes don’t have any membrane-bound organelles in common with eukaryotes, prokaryotes do have some non-membrane-bound components in common with eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are made of several key organelles whose functions of energy production are only found in eukaryotic cells. Chloroplasts are…
