1
New cards

componenets of STP (3)

receptor, signal transductor, response

2
New cards

receptor location

surface of cell or within the cell

3
New cards

receptor function

binds to signaling molecule, initates signaling transducer

4
New cards

signal transducer location

within cell membrane

5
New cards

signal transducer function

activates downstream signaling molecules

6
New cards

signal transducer function - also activates..

signal transducer > second messenger > effector

7
New cards

second messenger

small soluble intermediate for signaling cascade

8
New cards

second messenger examples (2)

cyclic AMP, calcium ions

9
New cards

effector

carry out responses from cell > signaling cascade

10
New cards

effector examples (2)

enzymes, transcription factors

11
New cards

response

response of the cell to signal cascade
