Cell signal transduction. Computer illustration of signal transduction in an animal cell. Signal transduction occurs when a molecule from outside the cell (orange),for example a hormone molecule,activates a specific receptor located on the cell surface or inside the cell. This receptor triggers a biochemical chain of events inside the cell,creating a response. Depending on the cell,the response may be a change in the cell's metabolism,shape,gene expression,or ability to divide. The signal can be amplified at any stage,so that one signalling molecule can cause many responses | |
