Second messengers are small molecules or ions like Ca2+ produced in response to a signal; they amplify the signal and carry it to the next stage within the cell, typically by binding to and modifying enzyme activities.
Los segundos mensajeros son moléculas pequeñas o iones como el Ca2+ que se producen en respuesta a una señal, amplifican la señal y la transportan, generalmente actuando sobre enzimas.
