| 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. This involves a number of molecules, including receptors, ligands and messengers.

| signal transduction |
communication inside the cell, and also, how a cell reacts to an external signal by transmitting it across the cell membrane to the interior of the cell. Proteins on the cell surface function as receptors for specific molecules (such as the hormone, insulin). The binding of the molecule to the receptor initiates an interlinked series of biochemical events inside the cell, involving enzymes, proteins and ions (especially calcium). ...

Any process that helps to produce biological responses to events in the environment or internal milieu (eg, transduction of light into nerve impulses by the retina or transduction of hormone binding into cellular events by hormone receptors). [MeSH]
