7TM
Signal Transduction - 
Cell Surface Receptor
Initiate signal tranduction through changes in receptor's tertiary structure, coupled to G Proteins
G Protein
Seven
 Transmembrane-helix (7TM)/G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)/G-protein
 Linked Receptor/Serpentine Receptor/Heptahelical Receptors
Function/Purpose:
- Accepts the ligand to change conformation of the receptor which affects G Proteins
- Hormone action, hormone secretion, neurotransmission, 
chemotaxis, exocytosis, blood pressure contro, embryogenesis, cell 
growth/differenciation, development, smell, taste, vision, viral 
infection
Fundamentals:
beta-Adrenergic Receptor Function
- Ligand binds to create a conformational change
- This conformational change affects a G Protein
Anatomy/Components:
Structure:
- N - Ligand binding site
- C - Cytoplasmic loops
Types of Ligands:
- Ions
- Odorants and Pheremones
- Small molecules
- Proteins
- Hormones
- Lipid
- Monoamine Neurotransmitter
- Non Steroid
