Explanation / Answer

G proteins relay their signal on the inside surface of the cell membrane.
The process starts when a receptor binds to its signal molecule such as adrenaline.
This changes the shape of the receptor, and it binds to the inactive three-chain G protein inside.
This causes the G protein to expel its GDP molecule and replace it with GTP. The GTP causes the subunits to change shape, and the G protein falls into two pieces. The freed alpha subunit, with its bound GTP, then moves along the membrane until it finds the enzyme adenylyl cyclase.
The G protein subunit then binds to the enzyme and activates it.

Autocrine signaling is a form of cell signaling in which the signaling molecules produce an effect on same cell that produces it. The cell secretes a hormone or chemical messenger (called the autocrine agent) that binds to autocrine receptors on that same cell, leading to changes in the cell.
