Summary Introduction

Introduction: Cells communicate with each other by a process known as cell signaling. It is important for an organism to receive and respond to the stimulus. There are four sequences of events that take place in cell signaling. They are signal transmission, reception, signal transduction, and response. Signal transduction is the process of conversion of an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal. It involves a cascade of molecules that transfers information in amplified way.
