MindMap Gallery The signaling pathway of G protein coupled receptors
The signaling pathway of G protein coupled receptors is triggered by ligand binding to the receptor. Upon binding, conformational changes occur in the receptor, leading to the activation of G proteins and the subsequent release or inhibition of downstream effector molecules. These effector molecules transmit signals to the nucleus or cytoplasm through second messenger systems such as cAMP and IP3, regulating cellular functions.
