Launch ↗ Signal Transduction Visualizer
Cells respond to hormones and other signals that cannot cross the membrane, so the message is caught by a receptor and relayed inward along a chain of molecules that amplifies it at every step. Here you can trace those pathways from the moment a signal binds its receptor, through G proteins, kinases and second messengers, to the response.
