Section 1

(10 cards)

cyclic AMP

Front

cAMP (a second messenger) activates another protein, usually protein kinase A, leading to cellular response.

Back

transduction

Front

The binding of the signal molecule changes the receptor protein in some way.

Back

ligand

Front

A molecule that specifically binds to another molecule, often a larger one.

Back

response

Front

The transduced signal finally triggers a specific cellular response.

Back

reception

Front

The target cell's detection of a signal molecule coming from outside the cell.

Back

second messengers

Front

Small, non-protein water soluble molecules or ions that send messages throughout the cells by diffusion.

Back

signal transduction pathway

Front

The process by which a signal on a cell's surface is converted into a specific cellular response.

Back

G-protein-linked receptor

Front

A plasma membrane receptor that works with the help of a G-protein.

Back

hormones

Front

Circulating chemical signals that are formed in specialized cells, travel in body fluids, and act on specific target cells.

Back

protein kinase

Front

The enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from ATP to protein.
