1 Glucagon binds its receptor in the plasma membrane of target cells (e.g. hepatocytes). 2  Bound receptor interacts with and, through a set of G proteins, turns on adenylate cyclase, which is also an integral membrane protein.
1. A ligand is... a small molecule that binds to the alpha subunit of the G-protein. a small molecule that binds to a membrane-bound receptor. a large molecule that binds to the alpha subunit of the G-protein.a large molecule that binds to a membrane-bound receptor.s a result of the ligand binding to its site... the G-protein changes conformation and GTP replaces the GDP on the alpha subunit. the G-protein changes conformation and the alpha subunit separates from the beta and gamma subunits. the G-protein changes conformation and GDP replaces the GTP on the alpha subunit.
