You are kindly requested to submit an assignment that will be tested and graded as a part of the continuous assessment in Medical Biochemistry (BIOM-201). The assignment requested is as follows: “Describe in the signal transduction pathways involved in cell signaling.” Elaborate the role of molecular circuits in signal transmission and their regulation. Explain the role of G-proteins, receptor dimerization, tyrosine kinases and calcium in intracellular signaling Illustrate how insulin signaling is regulated and provide examples of human diseases that result from defects in signaling pathways In order to complete the assignment you should refer to the course text book “Biochemistry: A Short Course – Chapter 13 – Signal-Transduction Pathways”.
