Q: A 51-year-old man suffering from episodic leg cramps started treatment with a drug that activates GABA receptors both in the brain and in the spinal cord. This activation must likely operate through the following site of neurons?
Did You Know?
Beta-2 (β2) receptors are coupled to stimulatory G-proteins (Gs). When a β2 agonist like salbutamol binds to the receptor, it activates Gs. The activated Gs protein then stimulates the enzyme adenylyl cyclase, which increases the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) inside the cell. Increased cAMP is the key second messenger that leads to smooth muscle relaxation in the airways.
