Chapter 7.3, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The different actions of second messenger, such as cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) in different cells.
Introduction:
The second messengers play a significant role in the process of signal transduction pathway. They can diffuse freely throughout the cytoplasm and mediates the successive steps in the pathways.
