Target intelligence / Profile preview

Signaling Molecule

Molecular classification: Hormone, Neurotransmitter, Local mediator, Pheromone, Peptide, Lipid, Amine, Nucleotide, Ion

Overview

A signaling molecule is a general term for any molecule that transmits information between cells, enabling coordination of physiological processes in multicellular organisms. These molecules are essential for communication within and between cells, allowing the body to respond to external stimuli, maintain homeostasis, and regulate various biological functions. Signaling molecules operate through endocrine, paracrine, autocrine, synaptic, and direct signaling modes.
