NE binds to adrenergic receptors embedded in the postsynaptic effector cell membrane. | NE binds to adrenergic receptors embedded in the postsynaptic effector cell membrane. | ||
Following binding of NE, to either alpha or beta receptors, conformational changes in the receptor lead to a disassociation of the G protein from the cytoplasmic face of the receptor which activates a second messenger, initiating a signaling cascade. | Following binding of NE, to either alpha or beta receptors, conformational changes in the receptor lead to a disassociation of the G protein from the cytoplasmic face of the receptor which activates a second messenger, initiating a signaling cascade. | ||
