Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus

Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the male...
G Protein-coupled Receptors01:27

G Protein-coupled Receptors

G-protein-coupled receptors are ligand-binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that traverses the cell membrane seven times, creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand-specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops hold onto the G-protein.The G-protein, or guanine nucleotide-binding protein, is a large heterotrimeric complex. Its three subunits...

Transducer Mechanism: G Protein–Coupled Receptors

G Protein–Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are membrane-bound receptors that transiently associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and induce an appropriate response to various stimuli. GPCRs regulate critical physiological pathways and are excellent drug targets for treating diseases such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression, or Alzheimer's. Nearly 35% of approved drugs implement their therapeutic effects by selectively interacting with specific GPCRs.
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or...
