Signaling

The receptor triggers a relay of intracellular molecules, often called a signaling cascade (e.g., using G-proteins or kinases).

The signal finally triggers a specific cellular activity, such as gene expression or enzyme activation. Types of Signaling: Autocrine: A cell targets itself. signaling

Signaling between cells in physical contact. The receptor triggers a relay of intracellular molecules,

A signaling molecule (ligand) binds to a specific receptor on the cell surface or inside the cell. often called a signaling cascade (e.g.
