    / Intracellular second messengers

    …intracellular second-messenger signaling system, the phosphatidylinositol system, employs two second-messenger lipids, both of which are derived from phosphatidylinositol. One is diacylglycerol (diglyceride), the other is triphosphoinositol. In this system a membrane receptor acts upon an enzyme, phospholipase C, located on the inner surface of the cell membrane. Activation of this…
