Activated PKA can
phosphorylate calcium
activated potassium channels
causing potassium efflux and
promoting hyperpolarization.
Activated PKA phosphorylates
the IP3 receptor to reduce
its affinity for IP3.
Activated PKA phosphorylates
phospholipase C.
There is an overall decrease
in calcium levels in the
cytosol.
Decreased calcium is unable
to bind readily to
calmodulin.
The inhibition of myosin
light chain kinase prevents
the synthesis of Myosin LC-P
which leads to a high
concentration of myosin
light chain and muscle
relaxation.
Myosin binds to actin
causing the sarcomere
filaments to key into each
other resulting in muscle
contractility.
Activates ATP-sensitive
potassium channels via cAMP
mediated phosphorylation.

Since the receptor isn't
activated, adenylyl cyclase
is no longer inhibited
allowing for cAMP production
D2 receptors activate Gi
protein signalling which
inhibits adenylyl cyclase

Domperidone is a prokinetic
agent. It increases gastric
motility and increases the
release of ACh from the GI
