Document Summary

Signaling is like having an argument with people who accept, oppose, and don"t care. Signals can be ampliied, damped, or muted depending on the audience ***when ldl levels increase in the blood, the ldl receptors in cells allow the ldl to be taken into the cell which releases cholesterol. This signals the cell to stop producing cholesterol. Receptors are sensiive with high ainity, ampliicaion, and adaptaion. Dif cells are have receptors (not all cells need to respond to everything) Receptors can be intracellular (steroid hormone receptor) or on the surface (growth factor) Surface: this receptor will start a signaling process within the cell which leads to efector proteins that each have a unique role. Efector proteins: metabolic enzyme (altered metabolism), transcripion regulatory protein (altered gene expression), cytoskeleton protein (altered cell shape or movement) Pepide hormone, growth factor, cholesterol, immune response, nervous system, sensory transducion (light, touch, etc) Work at low concentraions, so they need very high ainity for signaling molecules.
