When a hormone such as epinephrine binds to a GTP-bound receptor, the G protein

Question

When a hormone such as epinephrine binds to a GTP-bound receptor, the G protein alpha subunit leaves to activate adenylyl Cyclase.
When the alpha subunit re-associates with the beta/gamma subunits of the G protein, is the hormone still attached to the GTP-bound receptor?
When exactly does the hormone leave the receptor — is it when the G protein is GTP-activated or when the G protein is reassembled back into alpha/beta/gamma? When a hormone such as epinephrine binds to a GTP-bound receptor, the G protein alpha subunit leaves to activate adenylyl Cyclase.

Explanation / Answer

1. ANSWER:- True
Explanation- When a hormone such as epinephrine binds to a GTP-bound receptor, the G protein alpha subunit leaves to activate adenylyl Cyclase.

2. Answer:- No,When the alpha subunit re-associates with the beta/gamma subunits of the G protein, the hormone not attached to the GTP-bound receptor.

3. Answer:- yes,
Explanation :- hormone leave the receptor when the G protein is GTP-activated or when the G protein is reassembled back into alpha/beta/gamma.
