Detailed explanation-1: -Ligands. The majority of signal transduction pathways involve the binding of signaling molecules, known as ligands, to receptors that trigger events inside the cell. The binding of a signaling molecule with a receptor causes a change in the conformation of the receptor, known as receptor activation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ligands that bind to RTKs include the fibroblast growth factors, epidermal growth factors, platelet-derived growth factors, and stem cell factor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The signal transduction process links the signal molecule and the receptor protein to bring about a cellular response. 2. What are the 3 steps of signal transduction? Reception, Transduction, and Response are the three steps in the process of signal transduction.
