Emerging biological roles of Cl− intracellular channel proteins
... In CLIC4, agonist-induced recruitment to the plasma membrane is abolished by mutation of those residues, which – in GSTs – are crucial for substrate binding (Ponsioen et al., 2009). These results strongly suggest that the substrate-binding features of the omegaclass of GSTs have been conserved in CL ...

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.
