signaalinvälitysreitit
Signaalinvälitysreitit, known in English as signal transduction pathways, are the mechanisms by which cells receive, process, and respond to external stimuli. These pathways are fundamental to cellular communication and play a crucial role in a vast array of biological processes, including growth, differentiation, metabolism, and immune responses.
A typical signal transduction pathway begins with a signal molecule, such as a hormone or neurotransmitter,
The ultimate goal of these pathways is to alter cellular behavior. This can manifest in various ways,
