What is a signal transduction pathway?

A signal transduction pathway is a group of proteins that carry out transducing signals (which means it converts signals from outside the cell to a different signal inside the cell). A good example can be viewed when a hormone binds to the receptor in the plasma membrane (outside the cell), the receptor which has now been activated can now interact with intercellular proteins which produce new signals inside the cell.


What is the function of receptor proteins?

Receptor proteins are designed so special molecules can bind to them, and send messages to the cell that trigger some sort of reaction within the cell.They are embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell, to which a mobile signaling (or "signal") molecule may attach.Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor_proteins
