second messenger

基本解释

It is well known that calcium acts as a vital intracellular second messenger that governs a large array of cellular processes.
鈣離子作爲重要的胞內第二信使，控制著許多細胞的功能，人們對此已經研究得比較深入。
The project aimed to study the production and its regulation of intracellular second messenger molecules in normal and cancer cells.
研究正常與腫瘤細胞中脂類第二信使分子的生成和途逕，包括該過程的調節因素；
As a novel second messenger, ceramide plays important roles in a variety of physiologic or pathologic events relating to cellular growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and injuries.
作爲重要的第二信使，神經醯胺在多種信號轉導過程中發揮廣泛作用，從而影響細胞生長、增殖、分化、凋亡及損傷等多種生理、病理過程。

They often involve the generation of what are called 'second messenger' molecules which carry the signal further into the cell.
過程中通常會生成一種叫做,第二信使的分子,將信號更深入地傳遞至細胞內部
