Animal Receptors — Examples of Cellular Signal Perception Molecules

摘要: Considerable information has accumulated about the mechanisms by which animal cells perceive extracellular signals. In sharp contrast, very little is known cellular signal perception in plant cells. The purpose of this article to examine and highlight general principles that may prove applicable study systems. I will focus on receptors target specifically bind molecule(s). This initial event cascade eventually leads changes metabolism (e.g., gene expression) targeted Secondary messengers, are often involved transduction process subsequent binding molecules receptors, another review (see C. A. West, volume).
