This Discussion will allow you the opportunity to engage with your peers to explore the difference between ion channels and G proteins. You will be able to apply this understanding to a specific patient question. Additionally, please reply to your peers with additional information and sources to either support or challenge responses.
Post a response answering the following:
- Explain the difference between ion channels and G proteins as they relate to signal transduction and targets of medications.
- How would you answer the following patient question:
- My grandmother has a mental illness. I have the same genes as her. Will I also get the same mental illness?
Note: Your response needs to be supported and validated by three (3) scholarly peer-reviewed resources located outside of your course Learning Resources.
