Document Summary

The extracellular signal molecules act at very low concentrations and the receptors that recognize them usually bind them with high affinity. Contact-dependent signaling especially important during development and in immune responses. For paracrine signals to be delivered only to their proper target cells, the secreted molecules must. In most cases signal molecules are secreted not be allowed to diffuse too far; for this reason they are often rapidly taken up by neighboring target cells, destroyed by extracellular enzymes, or immobilized by the extracellular matrix. Neurotransmitter receptors have a relatively low affinity for their ligand quicker signaling. The large intracellular signaling molecules are intracellular signaling proteins: relay signal into the cell by either activating the next signaling protein in the chain or generating small intracellular mediators. Modulator proteins: modify the activity of intracellular signaling proteins and thereby regulate the strength of signaling along the pathway.

The survival, __________________, and size of each cell in an animal are controlled by extracellular signal molecules secreted by neighboring and distant cells. Many of these signal molecules bind to a cell-surface __________________ and trigger various intracellular signaling pathways. One class of signal molecules, called __________________, stimulates cell division by releasing the molecular brakes that keep cells in the __________________ or __________________ phase of the cell cycle. Members of a second class of signal molecules are called __________________, because they stimulate cell growth and an increase in cell mass. The third class of signal molecules, called __________________, inhibits __________________ by regulating members of the __________________ family of proteins. In addition to such stimulatory factors, some signal proteins such as __________________ act negatively on other cells, inhibiting their survival, growth, or proliferation.
