RTKs  Summary

RTKs  Summary

Dimerization is Important for RTK Activation RTKs Play Important Roles in Regulating Cell Proliferation Binding of Ligand Causes Dimerization for Most RTKs Dimerization Causes Cytoplasmic Tails to Autophosphorylate and Activate A Signaling Complex Binds to Phosphotyrosines and Communicates Message to

Cell (usually by phosphorylation) The Insulin Receptor is a RTK that Stimulates Movement of GLUT4 to Membranes Insulin Signaling Stimulates Phosphoprotein Phosphatase Phosphoprotein Phosphatase Reverses Effects of Epinephrine Insulin Signaling Favors Reduced Blood Glucose and Glycogen Synthesis Epinephrine Signaling Favors Increased Blood Glucose and Glycogen Breakdown EGFR Dimerizes and Activates on Binding EGF EGF Signaling Activates Transcription and Favors Cell Division RAS is Like a G-Protein and Activates Cell Division When Bound to GTP Turning off EGFR Signaling Involves GTPase (Ras), Phosphatases, and Endocytosis of

I answered 3 ‘b’.  But then I thought. It might be ‘c’  

Or was the false true?  I can’t undo. It makes me blue  

 It asked me to list all the enzymes that regulate fat  

As I wrote them down I discovered I didn’t know Jack    

I ought to give thanks,  Scoring some points, filling in blanks  

I squirmed in my seat  Feeling the heat, shuffling my feet  

 Professor then told me there wasn’t a chance I would pass  

So I started crying and fell through a big pane of glass    

I suffered no harm,  'Cuz I awoke, to my alarm  

Oh nothing compares  To deadly scares, of student nightmares
