Cell signalling

...2 A model of a hypothetical signalling pathway such as the one that operates in yeast. (a) The intracellular signalling molecules (green) and target proteins (blue) are present, but the signalling pathway is not activated. (b) An extracellular signalling molecule has bound to a receptor (usually spanning the plasma membrane) and activated a series of intracellular...
