A first messenger (1) binds to a specific receptor (2) The transducer (3), a G protein – composed of alpha-, beta- and gamma subunits – is activated This stimulates the amplifier (4), adenylate cyclase, which produces (5) the second messenger, cyclic AMP, from (6) ATP (adenosine triphosphate) (7) A cascade of enzymatic reactions alters the behavior of the cell and (8) via phosphorylation, an ion channel (11) is opened. Note: ignore (9) and (10) A specific example of how a G-protein activates cAMP
