Signal transduction
Conditions that alter the conformation of a protein which regulates expression of other genes.
Signal transduction. The biochemical events that conduct the signal of a hormone or growth factor from the cell exterior, through the cell membrane, and into the cytoplasm.
A signal transduction pathway is the pathway by which a neurotransmitter, a signal is transduced. So the neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on the neuron, and this binding is somehow converted into a signal in what we call the postsynaptic neuron.

These sessions were followed by presentations of experimental data on various aspects of signal transduction and pathways in cellular metabolism.
Some flagella are not used for movement but in sensation and signal transduction by various cell types, e.g. rod photoreceptor cells of the eye, olfactory receptor neurons of the nose, kinocilium in cochlea of the ear ...
- A compound distributed throughout higher plants, where it is thought to operate as a "master switch" responsible for the activation of signal transduction pathways in response to predation and pathogen attack ...
Proto-oncogene A signal transduction protein that usually regulates cell growth in some fashion; when proto-oncogenes mutated, they become oncogenes and contribute to the development of cancer.
Cytosol: The cytosol is the "soup" within which all the other cell organelles reside and where most of the cellular metabolism occurs. Though mostly water, the cytosol is full of proteins that control cell metabolism including signal transduction ...
Examples of broad biological process terms are "cell growth and maintenance," or "signal transduction." Examples of more specific terms are "pyrimidine metabolism" or "cAMP biosynthesis. It is not equivalent to a pathway.
