C E L L SIGNALING
The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the
basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis
Errors in cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer,
autoimmunity, and diabetes. By understanding cell signaling, diseases may be treated
effectively and, theoretically, artificial tissues may be created.

Autocrine signals target the cell itself. Sometimes autocrine cells can target cells
close by if they are the same type of cell as the emitting cell. An example of this are
immune cells.
E n d o c r i n e signals target distant cells. Endocrine cells produce hormones that travel
through the blood to reach all parts of the body.

Ion Channels
31
Schemati c diagram of an ion channel
1- Channel domains(typically
four per channel),
2 - Outer vestibule,
3 - Selectivity filter,
4 - Diameter of selectivity
filter,
5 - Phosphorylation site,
6 - Cell membrane.
32
Cell membrane
33
Membrane transport proteins
34
Ion channels are not pumps
Only ion channels have an aqueous pore that crosses the
membrane
35
Channels are made up of subunits
38
Ligand-gated channels
Typically, these are ion channels located on the postsynaptic
(receiving) side of the neuron
Some act in response to a secreted (external) ligand- typically a
neurotransmitter such as
• Acetylcholine (ACh)
• GABA
• Glycine
• Glutamate
Some act in response to internal ligands such as G-proteins,
cGMP and cAMP, and are also regulated by internal metabolites
such as phosphoinositides, arachidonic acid, calcium.
