There are ion channels in the cell membrane that are sensitive to stress in the membrane cytoskeleton. Some channels turn on with stress, others turn off. In specialized receptors such as those involved in hearing, touch, etc. the role of the channels is clear. However, virtually all cells have thes

An increasing number of studies indicate that changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca"],) mediate specific types of signal transduction in plant cells. Modulation of [Ca2+], is likely to be achieved through changes in the activity of Ca2+ channels, which catalyse passive influx of Ca2+ to the cytosol fr
## Abstract Crustacean color change results from the differential translocation of chromatophore pigments, regulated by neurosecretory peptides like red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH) that, in the red ovarian chromatophores of the freshwater shrimp __Macrobrachium olfersi__, triggers pigment
## Abstract A single type of reversible proteinβphosphorylating system, the ATPβdependent protein kinase/phosphatase system, is employed in signal transduction in eukaryotes. By contrast, recent work has revealed that three types of proteinβphosphorylating systems mediate signal transduction in bac
