Cell Signaling

Cellular signaling involves a multi-step process crucial for communication within cells and between different parts of an organism. The initial step, known as reception, involves a signaling molecule binding to a receptor on the cell surface.

3 Steps in Signaling

Response
Activation of different things like glycogen phosphorylase or of a gene
Transduction
Different Pathways

Ion Channel Receptors

Ligand enters the ion channel receptor to open it

With it being open, ions can enter and exit the cell

A cellular response can now occur

Tyrosine Kinase Receptor

Signal molecule enters the ligand binding site

The two monomers with receptor tyrosine kinase proteins come together to form a dimer

Dimerization activates the Tyrones on the receptors by adding phosphate to them from an ATP molecule

With the receptor being activated, relay proteins can bind to them and ultimately have an outcome

G-Protein Coupled Receptors

Signal molecule enters the G protein Receptor

Inactive G protein with GDP is activated by GTP when joining receptor

Activated G Protein Relays message to an enzyme by binding to it.

This then releases the message in forms like cAMP and eventually forms gives an outcome

Types of Signaling

Long Distance
Endocrine

Hormones released into body fluids by endocrine cells that affect other cells within the body

Local
Synaptic

Nerve cell releases neurotransmitters which simulated another nerve cell

Paracrin

Target cell targeted by molecules from signaling cell
