VIP and calcitonin act via members of the secretin family of these proteins.
DREADDs are designer forms of these proteins that only respond to synthetic small molecules. Thrombin cleaves the N-terminus off of a protease-activated type of these proteins to reveal a tethered ligand, which then binds to itself. VIP and calcitonin act via members of the secretin family of these proteins. Sodium ion channels close, releasing inhibition of bipolar cells, after isomerization of 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal causes a conformational change in one of these proteins called rhodopsin. They induce an intracellular GTPase to dissociate into alpha and beta-gamma subunits, leading to activation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP signaling. For 10 points, name these seven-transmembrane domain receptors linked to namesake proteins.
