Processes that Require Cell Signaling

Cellular Communication and Energy Metabolism

Cell Commuinication and Extracellular Environment

Cellular Communication and Immune Defense

Types of Chemical Messengers

Neurotransmitters

Hormones

Cytokines

Growth Factors

Eicosanoids

Retinoids

Signal Classification by Distance

Endocrine

Paracrine

Autocrine
Autocrine can be an abnormal process that cancer takes advantage of.

General Characteristics of Receptors

Two Major Classes of Receptors

Inttracellular Receptors

Plasma Membrane Receptors

Ion Channel Receptors

Similar features of Tyrosine Kinase, JAK-STAT, Serine Threonine Kinase Receptors

Tyrosine Kinase Receptors

JAK-STAT Receptors

Serine-Threonine Kinase Receptors

Tyrosine Kinase Features

Epidermal Growth Factor
Tyrosine Kinase Receptor

Insulin Signaling

Insulin Signaling and Glucose Uptake

AKT and WTF?
Tyrosine Kinase Receptor
Tyrosine Kinase — is more involved in cancer because it effects the cell cycle

Features of Serine-Threonine Kinases

TGF-Beta Receptors

JAK STAT Receptors

Heptahelical Receptors

GPCR’s

GPCR’s and CyclicAMP

GPCR’s and IP3

Ubiquitin

Phosphatase

GTPase
G-Protein require the help of GAP proteins.
