paracrine signalling

The cells also use paracrine signalling to control the activity of each other.

When the receptor-ligand binding occurs via local action, this is classified as paracrine signalling.

Other types of cell signaling include paracrine signalling and autocrine signalling.

AgRP is a paracrine signalling molecule made up of 132 amino acids.

Paracrine signalling mediates the response to epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors.

Rudimentary paracrine signalling pathways that are vital for communication between the follicle and oocyte are formed.

This local action of FGFs with their RTK receptors is classified as paracrine signalling.

It binds Bone morphogenetic proteins, members of the TGF beta superfamily of ligands, which are involved in paracrine signalling.

TGF (Transforming Growth Factor) are involved in paracrine signalling and can be found in many different tissue types, including brain, heart, kidney, liver, and testes.

In mice, the agouti gene encodes a paracrine signalling molecule that causes hair follicle melanocytes to synthesize pheomelanin, a yellow pigment, instead of the black or brown pigment, eumelanin.

Moreover, NO is involved in paracrine signalling between the endothelium and the smooth muscle that maintains vascular tone; without it, the muscle will not relax, and the blood vessel remains constricted.

As opposed to endocrine factors that travel considerably longer distances via the circulatory system, other signaling molecules, such as paracrine factors involved in paracrine signalling diffuse over a relatively short distance.

This local action of FGF proteins is classified as paracrine signalling, most commonly through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway or the Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway.
