Beschreiben sie kurz die molekularen Prozesse der Signaltransduktion olfaktorischer Sinneszellen. An welcher Stelle findet eine Signalverstärkung statt?
- 1000 different odorant genes
- Odorant sensory cell are 7 transmembrane domain proteins + G-protein
-
disassociation of G-Protein complex
alpha segment binds to adenylyl cyclase cAMP production (level increase)
cAMP opens CNG channels Ca^{2+}-influx depolarization
- opening of Ca^{2+}-gated Cl-channels chloride efflux further depolarization
- amplification of other channels feed forward
