G-protein coupled receptor (medicine) and bluetongue (medicine)


G-protein coupled receptor (medicine)


G-protein coupled receptor
<cell biology> Cell surface receptors that are coupled to G-proteins (GTP-binding protein).

G-protein coupled receptors are thought to have seven membrane spanning Domains and have been divided into 2 subclasses: those in which the binding site is in the extracellular domain for example receptors for glycoprotein hormones, such as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and those in which the ligand binding site is likely to be in the plane of the 7 transmembrane Domains for example rhodopsin and receptors for small neurotransmitters and hormones for example muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.


bluetongue (medicine)


bluetongue


A reovirus infection, chiefly of sheep, characterised by a swollen blue tongue, catarrhal inflammation of upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, and often by inflammation of sensitive laminae of the feet and coronet.
