| signal peptide |
A signal peptide is a short (15-60 amino acids long) peptide chain that directs the post translational transport of a protein. Some signal peptides are cleaved from the protein by signal peptidase after the proteins are transported. Signal peptides may also be called targeting signals or signal sequences. ...

| signal-to-noise ratio |
(Abbreviated SNR.) A ratio that measures the information content of a signal, usually defined as the ratio of the power of the signal unaffected by noise to the power of the noise. Commonly measured in decibels, the signal-to-noise ratio is sometimes defined for a specified bandwidth.

| 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 sequence |
A segment of about 15 to 30 amino acids at the N terminus of a protein, that enables the protein to be secreted (pass through a cell membrane). The signal sequence is removed as the protein is secreted. Also called signal peptide, leader peptide.
