Generalized Signaling Pathway
• Release signal molecule from signaling cell
• Bind and activate receptor in target cell
• Activate intracellular signaling pathway
• Alter effector protein(s) to change cell behavior

Forms of Cell Signaling
• Paracrine: signal molecule secreted and acts locally• Contact-dependent: signal molecule remains bound
to signaling cell

Speed of Signaling Response
• Alterations to proteins already present occurs rapidly• New gene expression and protein synthesis occurs slowly

cell

factors, hydrolysis by GTPase activating proteins
