3. The Basics of
Extracellular Cell Signaling
Signal Transduction: is a cascade of biochemical reactions inside the cell that eventually reach
the target molecule or reaction. It is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is
transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events
16. Two or More Second
Messengers May Work Together
17. Signal Transduction: Protein Kinase
Cascade Critical Functions:
1. Amplifies Signal
2. Communicates to
the Nucleus
3. Multiple steps
provides Specificity

Third Messengers
A set of chemical reactions in a cell that occurs when a molecule, such as a hormone, attaches to a receptor on the cell membrane. The pathway is actually a cascade of biochemical reactions inside the cell that eventually reach the target molecule or reaction.
Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events, most commonly protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinases, which ultimately results in a cellular response.
