Cell signaling is the biological process by which a cell interacts with itself, with other cells, and with the environment. Cell signaling is a fundamental property of all forms of life. Typically, th

This image displays endocrine signaling, the process by which endocrine glands produce hormones that are released into the bloodstream, allowing them to travel to distant target cells and bind to specific receptors, triggering a cellular response.
Signal transduction

Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events. Proteins responsible for detecting stimuli are generally termed

…where specific genes are activated and the synthesis of specific proteins is promoted. The effector component of the signaling pathway begins with signal transduction. In this process, the signal, by interacting with the receptor, starts a series of molecular events within the cell leading to the final effect of the…
