Introduction 
 T he ability of cells to receive and act on signals from 
beyond the plasma membrane is fundamental to life 
and is termed bio signaling. 
 In these cases, signals represent information that is 
detected by specific receptors and converted into 
cellular response which involves chemical 
processes.

(4) Integration : Ability of the system to receive 
multiple signals , integrate them and produce 
unified response most appropriate to the 
needs of the cell. 
(5) Desensitization : When a signal is present 
continuously, desensitization of the receptor 
system occurs and when the signal falls 
below threshold, the system gains sensitivity 
again.
Types of signal transducing 
system 
(1) Gated ion channel 
Opens or closes in response to concentration of signal ligand (S) 
or membrane potential.

system 
(2) Receptor enzyme 
Ligand binding to extracellular domain stimulates enzyme 
activity in intracellular domain.

system 
(3) Steroid receptor 
Steroid binding to a nuclear receptor protein allows the 
receptor to regulate the expression of specific genes.

(4) Serpentine receptor 
External ligand binding to receptor (R) activates an 
intracellular GTP-binding protein (G), which regulates an 
enzyme (Enz) that generates an intracellular second 
messenger, X.

Types of signal transducing 
system 
(5) Receptor with no intrinsic enzyme activity(membrane 
proteins) 
Receptors that lack enzymatic activity but attract and 
activate cytoplasmic enzymes that act on downstream 
proteins, either by directly converting them to gene-regulating 
proteins or by activating a cascade of enzymes that finally 
activates a gene regulator. 
(6) Adhesion receptor 
Receptors (adhesion receptors) that interact with 
macromolecular components of the extracellular matrix (such 
as collagen) and convey to the cytoskeletal system 
instructions on cell migration or adherence to the matrix.
G protein signaling 
 Guanosine nucleotide binding protein is a 
heterotrimer (with 3 different units) : alpha ,beta 
and gamma. 
 The alpha unit is bound to GDP and has high 
affinity for beta and gamma units. 
 The human genome encodes more than 1000 
GPCR (G protein coupled receptors) that 
transduce messages as light ,touch or hormones.
