Juxtacrine signalling
Encyclopedia : J : JU : JUX : Juxtacrine signalling
In biology, juxtacrine signalling is a type of intercellular communication which is transmitted via oligosaccharide, lipid or protein components of a cell membrane and may affect either the emitting cell or immediately adjacent cells.
Juxtacrine signaling is one major type of cell signaling along with paracrine and endocrine. Juxtacrine signaling has been observed for some growth factors, cytokine and chemokine cellular signals.
