RECEPTOR SITES & SIGNAL MOLECULES; Neurotransmitters, Hormones & Drugs by Professor Fink

In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink explains the Role of Receptor Sites and the mechanisms of action of “Signal Molecules” (“ligands; Neurotransmitters & Hormones). Five different Mechanisms of Actions (with examples) are described: [1] Ion Channels; [2] Enzymes; [3] Transporters; [4] Linker Proteins & [5] Transcription of a Gene. Reference is made to Acetylcholine, Epinephrine (Adrenalin), Cytokines, Chemotaxis, Insulin, Glucose Transporter, Steroid Hormones, G-Proteins, Protein Kinases, Mimetic Drugs (Agonists), Blockers (Antagonists) and Beta (Adrenergic)-Blockers.
