Why does the cAMP pathway produce so many different physiological effects?
A)There is a wide variety of effector proteins that can react with protein kinase A.
B)cAMP has a completely different mechanism in each cell.
C)Protein kinase a is completely different in each tissue.
D)Receptors in the camp pathway dictate the response.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cAMP pathway produces many different physiological effects because there are a wide variety of effector proteins that can react with protein kinase A. Different cells can express different effector proteins, leading to a range of responses.

Answer: D
 Additionally, receptors in the cAMP pathway dictate the response by activating specific downstream effectors. Different cells can express different receptors, leading to a range of responses.
