signaalinsiirtäjien
Signaalinsiirtäjät, or signal transducers, are molecules within cells that relay signals received at the cell surface or from the intracellular environment to the cell's interior, ultimately leading to a specific cellular response. This process is fundamental to cell communication, allowing cells to perceive and react to their surroundings.
These transducers are often part of complex signaling pathways. A signal, such as a hormone binding to
Many signal transduction pathways involve phosphorylation, where a phosphate group is added to a protein, altering
Dysregulation of signal transduction pathways can lead to various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic
