Document Summary

Types of cell signaling: autocrine signaling: messenger molecule secreted by the cell binds the receptors on the same cell (an example of auto-regulation, paracrine signaling: messenger molecule travel a short distance and elicit a response in nearby cells. These messengers are usually unstable or degraded (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:859)t get too far: endocrine signaling: messengers travel long distance in body through bloodstream and act at distant sites (e. g. hormones) Major types of receptors: g protein-coupled receptors (gpcr): transmembrane receptors that respond to signals by activating. Major receptors for neurotransmitters: steroid receptors: usually present in the cytosol and are usually transcription factors control transcription upon ligand binding e. g. glucocorticoid receptor, other receptors: have unique mechanisms e. g. b and t-cell receptors. Or: gpcrs are degraded in lysosomes or sent back to cell surface via recycling endosomes (5) respond to ligands (6) (resensitized) A si(cid:374)gle se(cid:272)o(cid:374)d (cid:373)esse(cid:374)ger (cid:272)a(cid:374) affe(cid:272)t (cid:373)ultiple pro(cid:272)esses.
