G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptor activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

A G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptor activity, occurring in the postsynaptic membrane, involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. [GOC:dos]

G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors are integral membrane proteins that play a crucial role in mediating communication between neurons. They are responsible for transducing extracellular signals, such as neurotransmitters, into intracellular responses. This process involves a complex cascade of molecular events that ultimately lead to changes in the postsynaptic membrane potential.

When a neurotransmitter binds to its specific receptor, it initiates a conformational change in the receptor protein. This conformational shift exposes a binding site for a G protein, which is a heterotrimeric complex composed of α, β, and γ subunits. The G protein then binds to the receptor and undergoes an exchange of GDP for GTP on the α subunit. This activation of the α subunit causes it to dissociate from the βγ dimer, both of which can then interact with downstream effector proteins.

One of the primary effector proteins activated by G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors is adenylyl cyclase, an enzyme responsible for synthesizing cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP acts as a second messenger, diffusing through the cytoplasm and activating protein kinase A (PKA). PKA, in turn, phosphorylates various target proteins, leading to a variety of downstream cellular responses, including changes in gene expression, enzyme activity, and ion channel conductance.

Another important downstream effector protein is phospholipase C (PLC), which is activated by G protein-coupled receptors that signal through Gαq or Gα11. PLC catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3). DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC), while IP3 binds to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum, triggering the release of calcium ions (Ca2+) into the cytoplasm.

The increase in intracellular calcium levels can have a number of effects on postsynaptic membrane potential. First, it can directly activate calcium-dependent ion channels, leading to membrane depolarization. Second, it can activate calcium-dependent signaling pathways, such as the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase pathway, which can regulate the activity of other ion channels and signaling proteins.

In addition to these direct effects on postsynaptic membrane potential, G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors can also indirectly influence membrane potential by modulating the release of other neurotransmitters. For example, some receptors can activate presynaptic signaling pathways that lead to increased neurotransmitter release, while others can suppress neurotransmitter release.

Overall, G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors play a central role in regulating postsynaptic membrane potential by initiating a complex cascade of molecular events that involves the activation of G proteins, effector proteins, and downstream signaling pathways. This intricate system allows for precise control over neuronal communication, ensuring that the brain can effectively process information and generate appropriate responses to external stimuli.'

diethylstilbestroldiethylstilbestrol : An olefinic compound that is trans-hex-3-ene in which the hydrogens at positions 3 and 4 have been replaced by p-hydroxyphenyl groups.

Diethylstilbestrol: A synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen used in the treatment of menopausal and postmenopausal disorders. It was also used formerly as a growth promoter in animals. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), diethylstilbestrol has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck, 11th ed)

arformoterolarformoterol : An N-[2-hydroxy-5-(1-hydroxy-2-{[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]amino}ethyl)phenyl]formamide in which both of the stereocentres have R configuration. The active enantiomer of formoterol, it is administered by inhalation (generally as the tartrate salt) as a direct-acting sympathomimetic and bronchodilator for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (any progressive respiratory disease that makes it harder to breathe over time, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema).N-[2-hydroxy-5-(1-hydroxy-2-{[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]amino}ethyl)phenyl]formamideanti-asthmatic drug;

harmineharmine : A harmala alkaloid in which the harman skeleton is methoxy-substituted at C-7.

Harmine: Alkaloid isolated from seeds of PEGANUM HARMALA; ZYGOPHYLLACEAE. It is identical to banisterine, or telepathine, from Banisteria caapi and is one of the active ingredients of hallucinogenic drinks made in the western Amazon region from related plants. It has no therapeutic use, but (as banisterine) was hailed as a cure for postencephalitic PARKINSON DISEASE in the 1920's.
