Term
adenylate cyclase-
Definition

Term
a-receptors
Definition
q
Term
AMP-
Definition
q(adenosine monophosphate)consists of a phosphate group, a ribose, and the nucleoside andenosine, it can be produced during ATP synthesis orduring hydrolysis of ATP or ADP
Term
?-agonist receptor-
Definition
qg-protein receptor that stimulates phospholipase C activity. It is also refered to as the alpha adrenergic agonist receptor.

Term
calmodulin -
Definition
a calcium binding protein, when calcium binds to the protein it can then associate with other proteins(enzymes) and modify their activities.
Term
glycogen-
Definition
a large, branched polysaccharide that is the storage form of glucose. It's breakdown is exergonic and releases energy while also incresing blood glucose levels.
Term
glycogenolysis-
Definition
the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, takes place in muscle and liver tissues
Term
McArdle's Disease -
Definition
An inborn deficiency of muscle phosphorylase, causing an abnormal accumulation of glycogen in muscle tissue. (www.whonamedit.com McArdle's disease)
Term
signal transduction system -
Definition
starts with a signal to a receptor, and ends with a change in cell function
Term
Von Gierke's Disease -
Definition
Disease where the body cannot break down glycogen for energy (Type I glycogen storage disease (GSD I)). (medline plus)
