Video transcript

Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us to identify which of the following depicts the correct sequence of events and G protein coupled receptor signaling. So the correct sequence of events is one the ligand binds to G protein coupled receptor to activation of G protein three activation of identical cyclists four C a m p synthesis from a T p, five activation of protein kindness a and lastly hospitalization of target proteins. So our answer here is a ligand binds to G protein coupled receptor activation of g protein activation of by general cyclists C a m p synthesis from a T P, activation of protein kinase A and phosphor realization of target proteins. Thank you for watching. Bye.
