Molecular Messaging Accuracy

Meaning

Molecular Messaging Accuracy refers to the fidelity and precision with which signaling molecules, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines, are synthesized, transported, received by their target receptors, and correctly transduced into an appropriate and proportionate cellular response. High accuracy is essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis and functional integrity across all organ systems. Conversely, a reduction in accuracy, often due to receptor down-regulation or the presence of metabolic intermediates, can lead to widespread endocrine and neurological dysfunction. This concept is a measure of the health of the entire signaling axis.
