|
Term
|
Definition
: a compound, such as camp that is released within a target cell after a hormone (first messenger) has bound to a surface – triggers further reactions in the cell
|

Term
| signal transduction cascade |
|
Definition
: the series of biochemical steps whereby a stimulus to a cell is translated into a response of the cell.
|
|
|
Term
|
