Epinephrine binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase on the cell membrane and does not act on glycogen phosphorylase.
Explanation:
In cellular respiration, epinephrine is a neurotransmitter and a plasma membrane hormone receptor. It is not a lipid-derived hormone, but rather an amino acid-derived hormone. As a result, they are unable to pass through the plasma membrane of cells. They bind to receptors on the outer surface of the plasma membrane through plasma membrane hormone receptors (receptor's tyrosine kinase of the cell membrane) because they are lipid insoluble hormones.
Unlike steroid hormones, lipid insoluble hormones (epinephrine) do not directly influence glycogen phosphorylase or the target cell because they cannot enter the cell and operate directly on DNA. The activation of a signaling pathway occurs when these hormones attach to a cell surface receptor; this activates intracellular activity and performs the hormone's specific effects. Nothing crosses through the cell membrane in this fashion; the hormone that binds at the cell's surface stays at the cell's surface, while the intracellular component stays within the cell.
so if you look up things that can cause an asthma attack it will also show that viruses and bacteria are a cause. with asthma you lungs could already be inflamed as well as your air way wich makes it harder to breath. when you have c-19 it will inflame your lungs even more so it makes it even harder to breath given an asthma attack. more asthma attack now are probably caused by c-19 because it is all over the place and the percent of asthma attack by virus has dramatically increased.
