Chapter 11, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: A secondary messenger is produced in a cell in response to a first messenger that is produced when a specific signal binds to its receptor. IP3 that is abbreviated as Inositol triphosphate is one such secondary messenger, which is produced when a suitable signal binds to a receptor, thereby activating G protein.
