How a change in glycoproteins affects a cell’s ability to maintain homeostasis

Biology
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Most of the cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. These glycoproteins have active sites that recognize specific signals, like hormones, that initiate secondary signaling pathways inside of the cell, in response to the external signal. This is how cells respond to environmental stimuli.

If a change in glycoproteins makes them unable to bind signaling molecules (like hormones) or makes them permanently bind these molecules, there will definitely be a defect in how the cell responds to external stimuli.  The cell will be, for example, be unable to respond to insulin in case of elevated blood sugar levels as is the case with diabetics.

In many cases, the activity of an enzyme is regulated by Negative feedback where the end product acts as a non competitive inhibitor.
In feedback inhibition the end product of a metabolic pathway acts on the key enzyme regulating entry to that pathway, keeping more of the end product from being produced. The feedback inhibition acts at the first committed step of the pathway, meaning the first step that's effectively irreversible. The pathway steps regulated by feedback inhibition are often catalyzed by allosteric enzymes.
