Which statement about the IP₃-DAG pathway is false? A) Diacylglycerol can act as a second messenger. B) Inositol trisphosphate can act as a second messenger. C) Protein kinase C can phosphorylate a wide variety of proteins. D) Inositol trisphosphate remains bound to the membrane after phospholipase C catalyzes its formation. E) Inositol trisphosphate can open ion channels in the membranes of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, releasing calcium into the cytoplasm.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inositol trisphosphate does not remain bound to the membrane after phospholipase C catalyzes its formation. Instead, it diffuses into the cytoplasm to bind to receptors on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, leading to the release of calcium ions.
