signaalivälittäjä
Signaalivälittäjä, also known as a signal transducer, is a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular communication by converting one type of signal into another. These proteins are essential for the transmission of information within and between cells, enabling various cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and death. Signaalivälittäjät are typically composed of multiple domains, each with a specific function, and they often interact with other proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids to facilitate signal transduction.
One of the most well-known examples of signaalivälittäjä is the insulin receptor, which binds to insulin and
The dysregulation of signaalivälittäjät has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
