phosphodiesterase
The intracellular substance that degrades cyclic AMP (cAMP) is phosphodiesterase (PDE). Phosphodiesterase hydrolyzes cAMP into AMP, thereby reducing its levels and inactivating the signaling pathways activated by hormones that rely on cAMP as a second messenger. This process helps to regulate and terminate the hormonal response, ensuring that the cellular response is appropriately modulated.
Phosphodiesterase degrades cAMP in the cell, leading to the inactivation of the response to a hormone. This enzyme is crucial in regulating signal transduction pathways by breaking down cAMP into AMP.
Allergen
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and intracellular calcium are produced in response to hormonal activation of G proteins. These second messengers play key roles in transmitting signals inside the cell in response to hormone binding to cell surface receptors.
This is a pH indicator.

Cytokines
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is often referred to as the second messenger in signal transduction pathways. It is a key component in mediating intracellular responses to extracellular signals such as hormones and neurotransmitters.
Excess accumulations of substances in cells may lead to cellular injury due to toxicity, immune response, and/or taking up cellular space Characterized by: Excessive amounts of normal intracellular substance Characterized by: - Accumulation of abnormal substances secondary to faulty metabolism or synthesis - Accumulation of pigments or particles that cell is unable to degrade Common site of accumulation is liver
substance
The extracellular spaces are protected by the humoral immune response, in which antibodies produced by B cells cause the destruction of extracellular microorganisms and prevent the spread of intracellular infections. This is often called antibody mediated immunity. This response is triggered by an antigen and usually requires helper T cells.

Endorphins
Allergen
All cells have specialized proteins on their surface that show a sampling of the contents of the cell to certain immune cells, which recognize these samples as self or foreign (i.e. intracellular pathogens) and kill infected cells.
