Health | Systems in which an intracellular signal is generated in response to an intercellular primary messenger such as a hormone or neurotransmitter. They are intermediate signals in cellular processes such as metabolism, secretion, contraction, phototransduction, and cell growth. Examples of second messenger systems are the adenyl cyclase-cyclic AMP system, the phosphatidylinositol diphosphate-inositol triphosphate system, and the cyclic GMP system. (references) |

Health | One possibility would be to find common pathways, such as second messenger systems, through which these factors operate. (references) | |
Electrical activity and signals from other cells stimulate second messenger systems, and these influences change dramatically for cells below a spinal cord injury. (references) | ||
Cyclic AMP is a small molecule that carries messages from cell surface receptors activated by "first messengers" (hormones, neurotransmitters, or other signals) to sites within the cell. Like other second messenger systems, this biochemical pathway allows a single first messenger to control several cellular processes and helps in regulating and integrating the many signals cells receive.
