Summary Introduction
Introduction:
During signal transduction, first messenger can act in two possible ways, either by binding to receptor and activating the cascade that then activates the target molecule or by entering the cytoplasm by itself. Only those signal molecules that are nonpolar can enter the cytoplasm and elicit the response.

- The activation of receptor tyrosine kinases is characterized by a. dimerization and phosphorylation b. a phosphorylation cascade c. channel protein shape change d. GTP hydrolysisarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding signaling in normal cells and cancer cells is false? a. In normal cells, RTK transphosphorylation is strictly dependent on ligand binding. Ligand binding promotes a conformational change in the RTKS that is required for dimerization, and dimerization is required for transphosphorylation. b. Cancers cells that over-express RTK's can respond to tiny amounts of ligand, and in some instances signaling can be ligand-independent. c. Cancer cells that have established several autocrine signaling loops have a poor prognosis, because these cells have enabled multiple independent mitogenic signal transduction pathways. 4 d. The extracellular ectodomains of all RTKS are highly conserved in primary sequence and structure. e. RTKS have a hydrophilic extracellular ectodomain, and hydrophobic transmembrane domain, and a hydrophilic cytoplasmic domain, which contains the catalytic portion of the protein.arrow_forwardWhat features are remarkable about steroid receptors?
