Learning Objective

I can describe the major steps in cell signaling pathways.

  • 1

    In cell signaling, a receptor is a molecule, often a protein, where a signal molecule can bind.

  • 2

    The general sequence of cell signaling involves three steps: reception, transduction, and response.

  • 3

    Cell signaling can be intracellular, occurring within a cell, or intercellular, where a cell communicates with another cell.
