2. When environment changes:
Monad——responds directly.
Multicellular organisms——signal
through elaborate system of
intercellular or intracellular
communication , and consequently
regulate functions of organisms.
6. Signaling molecules
• Signaling molecules, which are
released by signal-producing cells,
reach and transfer biological signals
to their target cells to initiate specific
cellular responses.
8. 1. Extracellular molecules
protein & peptides: Hormone, cytokine
AA & its derivatives: Gly, Glu,
adrenaline, thyroxine
Steroid: Sex Hormone,
glucocorticosteroid
Fatty acid derivatives: prostaglandin
9. (1) Paracrine signaling
(local chemical mediators)
• Secreted by common cells.
• Reach neighboring target cells by
passive diffusion.
• Time of action is short.
• Such as GF, PG
10. (2) Endocrine signal
• Secreted by endocrine cells.
• Reach target cells by blood
circulation.
• Time of action is long.
• Such as insulin, thyroxine, adrenalin
11. (3) Synaptic signal
(neurotransmitters)
• Secreted by neuronal cells.
• Reach another neuron by synaptic
gap.
• Time of action is short.
• Such as Acetylcholine (Ach),
noradrenaline
12. (4) Gaseous signal
• Simple structure, half life is short
and active in chemistry .
• Such as NO, CO.
13. GAS MOLECULE
14. (5) Autocrine signal
• Act back to their own cells.
• Such as GF, cytokine, interferon,
interleukin.
16. Second messenger:
Small molecules synthesized in cells
in response to an external signal are
the second messengers, which are
responsible for intracellular signal
transduction.
Such as Ca2+, DG, Cer, IP3, cAMP,
cGMP
17. Third messengers:
Third messengers are the molecules
which transmit message from outside
to inside of nucleous or from inside to
outside of nucleous, also called DNA
binding protein.
18. Proteins and peptides:
Effect by Hormones, cytokines
membrane Amino acid derivatives:
receptors Catecholamines

20. Receptor
Receptors are specific membrane
proteins, which are able to recognize
and bind to corresponding ligand
molecules, become activated, and
transduce signal to next signaling
molecules.
Glycoprotein or Lipoprotein
21. ligand
A small molecule that binds
specifically to a larger one; for
example, a hormone is the ligand for
its specific protein receptor.
22. • Membrane receptors

• Intracellular receptors

29. 2) G protein (Guanylate binding
protein)
• G protein refers to any protein which
binds to GDP or GTP and act as signal
transduction.
• G proteins consist of three different
subunits (α, β, γ -subunit).
• α -subunit carries GTPase activity,
binding and hydrolysis of GTP.
