Abstract
A variety of transduction mechanisms are present in every cell. The messages of many hormones and locally produced autacoids (i.e., substances which act like hormones at their site of production and release) induce cell responses. To transmit these signals within the cell, hormone receptors and a variety of transduction systems are commonly used by almost every cell. The components of these systems will be briefly summarized in this chapter. The various types of receptors will only be covered briefly. This area is covered more fully in other chapters and in pharmacology texts [15,26,37,39,47,57,65,67,81,84,89,98,103]. The key issues to be discussed here will be the various second messenger systems.
