Biochemical Signal Protection

Meaning

This term describes the physiological and molecular mechanisms employed by the organism to shield critical intercellular and intracellular signaling molecules from degradation, interference, or erroneous reception. It refers to the processes that ensure hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors maintain their structural integrity and transmit their precise regulatory messages accurately across biological distances. Maintaining signal fidelity is paramount for coordinated function within the neuroendocrine system.
