Tick the second messenger of G-protein-coupled (metabotropic) receptor:
a) Adenylyl cyclase
b) Sodium ions
c) Phospholipase C
d) cAMP
Ayushi Answered question August 21, 2024
The correct answer is d) cAMP.
cAMP is a second messenger that is produced as a result of G-protein-coupled receptor activation. Adenylyl cyclase (a) is the enzyme that produces cAMP. Phospholipase C (c) produces inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), which are also second messengers but are not directly related to cAMP. Sodium ions (b) are not considered second messengers in this context.
