Remembering G-protein second messengers

[Spang]

Somebody posted a memory device for this (KISS, KICK, something) and I can't find it again. Help me out? 😎

That was me..

Sympathetics: KISS (qiss) a1=q a2=i b1=s b2=s
Parasympathetics: KICK (qiq) M1=q M2=i M3=q
Dopamine & Histamine: SIX (siqs) D1=s D2=i H1=q H2=s
For vasopressin just gotta remember QS

Or...you could just do what I'm doing and tell that part of the test to "KISS MY A$$!!!" All the more power to you for trying though!

Thanks Alex!

Actually though, now looking in FA and coupling it (no pun intended...the lowest form of humor you know) with your clever nmemonic, I think that I WILL take the time to commit them to memory (I'm sure you're all sooo relieved to hear that). I second the "THANK YOU!" Alex!

I was so with Willamette with telling that part to go &^%%#%^ 😱 until a little ray of light shined though! THANK-YOU, THANK YOU!! 😍

Glad you like it 🙂

Maybe I should send it in to First Aid??

you rule. i was having a hard time remembering this until your mnemonic. 🙂

 

[Spang]

Should we start a mnenomic, memory aid sticky?

 

[StringBean]

I stared one last night under... "Group Effort"... I just don't know how to make it a sticky! 😕

 

[StringBean]

So the mnemonic thread has been made a "sticky" 🙂 Thanks Dr Mom!

It's under 'Group Effort'.

 

[DrMom]

Hey, it's a bit self-serving of me since I'm in the middle of this, too. 😉

here's a simple 2 phrase mnemonic that i found helpful in prepping for the boards. it consists of 3 simple parts

"HMV is A1"
= Gq
= HMV (as in the music store) = H1, M1, V1 A1 (and M3 as in the car)

"AMD"
=Gi
=AMD as in the computer chip maker = A2, M2, D2

"all the rest are Gs!!!!!!!"



all the best

oh yeah,
you can reference this infor on p.149 in First Aid for the Boards
Step 1 2004 ed.

laters, y'all.

First aid 2015 has:
Kiss (qiss) and kick (qiq) until you get sick (siq) of sex (sqs)

Yeah... and it's very helpful that they're in alphabetical order too in the mnemonic except for the M receptors which are out of place.
