Document Summary

You never want 2 competing cycles on at the same time. Epinepherine and glucagon are catabolic, they turn on catabolic pathways insulin turns on anabolic mechanisms. Diagram: lycogen is broken down into glucose, and epinephrine and glucagon iniaiates this pathway. Epinephrine is reelased from the adrenal glands, and the whole pathway generates more energy/atp. Epinephrine looks like tyrosine, and this is an example of amino acid metabolism where we take an amino acid and we convert it into something else that has a role in the body. Glucagon is polypeptide hormone, it has alpha helixes so it can act as a signaling molecule. Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose to the rest of the body. Both of their receptors fall under the same family of proteins. It has lots of alpha helixes that are trans membrane. The glucagon receptor also has trans membrane helixes. Both of these membrane receptors are g protein coupled receptors.
