The process that couples a neurotransmitter to activation of a downstream enzyme is referred to as ___

Respuesta :

Answer:

second messenger cascade

Explanation:

Second messenger cascade is activated by the NE beta receptor which then activates the G protein. G protein in turn activates the enzyme responsible for converting ATP to cAMP i.e adenylyl cyclase. When the level of cAMP reaches a certain level, the enzyme protein kinase is released.  The enzyme phospholipase is released as the G proteins get active and breaks down the phospholipid membrane into two secondary messenger molecule.
