SUMMARY

1. Extracellular ligands are called first messengers & intracellular mediators are called second messengers.

2. The receptor-ligand interaction is transduced into secondary response within the cell.

3. Second messengers do the following: ion channel activation, G-protein activation, intracellular enzyme activation, transcription activation.

4. The cell signalling pathway amplifies the primary signal and distributes it to appropriate targets within the cell.

5. The predominant post-translational modification of proteins is phosphorylation via kinases (phosphorylate tyrosine/serine/theornine residues) or phosphatases (remove phosphates from proteins/lipids).
