4. Types of receptors
Type 1: L ( ionotropic receptors)
Type 2: G protein-coupled
receptors (metabotropic)
Type 3: Kinase-linked and related receptors
Type 4: Nuclear receptors

chemical properties
cellular receptor (intra cellular or extracellular)
enzymes

6. G protein
G protein also known as guanine nucleotide-
binding proteins, involved in transmitting
signals and function as molecular switches.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also
known as seven-transmembrane domain
receptors, 7T receptors, serpentine receptor,
G protein-linked receptors (GPLR).
It constitute a largeprotein family of receptors
that sense molecules outside the cell and
activate inside signal transduction pathways
and ultimately cell responses.
7. They are called seven-transmembrane receptors
because they pass through the cell membrane seven
times.
Humans express over 800 GPCRs that make up
the third largest familyof genes in humans.
GPCRs are the target of many drugs; perhaps half
of all non-antibiotic prescription drugs at the se
receptors.
G protein complexes are Made up
1.23 aplha (α)
2.7 beta (β)
3.12 gamma (ʏ ) subunits.
10. Example of drug in GPCR
examples of GPCRs include beta-
adrenergicreceptors, which bind epinephrine;
prostaglandin E 2receptors, which bind
inflammatory substances called
prostaglandins; and rhodopsin, which contains
a photoreactive chemical called retinal that
responds to light signals received by rod cells
in the eye.
