BCH 580

Cell Signalling

The course examines mechanisms of signal transduction and intracellular signalling. We will first examine the biochemical tools of signalling pathways including receptor families and their ligands, second messengers, G-Proteins and protein phosphorylation switches. We will then investigate the signalling pathways and networks in biological functions, which may include stress-response, blood pressure control, cell growth, cell migration, and the immune response.
