Key Concepts

ATP

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is primarily known as the energy currency of the cell, supplying the energy necessary for many cellular processes. Unlike other molecules that serve as second messengers, ATP is not typically used to relay signals in the cascade of signal transduction.

Second Messenger

Second messengers are small intracellular molecules that transmit signals from receptors on the cell surface to target molecules inside the cell. They amplify the signal, allowing for a rapid and coordinated response to the original extracellular message.

Signal Transduction

Signal transduction is the cellular process that converts extracellular signals into intracellular actions. This involves receptors sensing a stimulus and transmitting the information through a cascade of intracellular events ultimately leading to a physiological response.
