90 Day Deep Dive Podcast Series into the World of Human Receptor Pharmacology - Day 81 Peptide Hormone Receptors (e.g., ADH, Oxytocin)


Listen Later

This podcast episode explores the fascinating world of peptide hormone receptors, focusing on ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin. The discussion breaks down how these hormones use G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to regulate essential bodily functions like water balance and childbirth. The episode delves into the complex world of cellular signaling, explaining how microdomains and kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) help organize signals within cells. Using engaging analogies like nightclubs and city neighborhoods, the hosts make complex molecular processes accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy.
