Term ID

CHEBI:62488

Synonyms

signal molecule
signal molecules
signaling molecule
signaling molecules
signalling molecules

Definition

A molecular messenger in which the molecule is specifically involved in transmitting information between cells. Such molecules are released from the cell sending the signal, cross over the gap between cells by diffusion, and interact with specific receptors in another cell, triggering a response in that cell by activating a series of enzyme controlled reactions which lead to changes inside the cell.
