Course Overview

Students will get an overview of the different membrane receptors and ion channels, their structure-function relationships and the intracellular signal transduction pathways with which these receptors are connected. Another focus is to understand the interplay between the different signal transduction pathways and the regulatory principles that govern these pathways.

Learning Achievement

Students will gain overview knowledge, an extended understanding of certain interactions and their principles and basic concepts of biochemistry should be learned and understood. Students will understand the far-reaching implications that signal transduction pathways have for cell physiology and the organism as a whole.
