Abstract
... Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, are generally considered cytotoxic. However, many reports have demonstrated that intracellular ROS, produced in mammalian cells in response to the activation of various receptors, serve as important second messengers in ...

Signal transduction
Signal transduction occurs when an extracellular signaling molecule activates a specific receptor located on the cell surface or inside the cell. In turn, this receptor triggers a biochemical chain of events inside the cell, creating a response. Depending on the cell, the response alters the cell's metabolism, shape, gene expression, or ability to divide. The signal can be amplified at any step. Thus, one signaling molecule can cause many responses.
