Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The steps whereby the downstream processes started by a signal are brought to a conclusion. Examples include destruction of cAMP by PDE, or endocytosis resulting from receptor phosphorylation. The termination process ends when the receptor has returned to its inactive state. The process by which receptor molecules are returned to an active state and in an active cellular location after they have been stimulated by a ligand. An active state is when the receptor is ready to receive a signal. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling process. Any biological process involved in the generation, transmission, reception, or interpretation of a signal. A signal is an entity used to transmit or convey information. The process whereby a signal is secreted or discharged into the extracellular medium from a cellular source. The entirety of a process whereby information is transmitted. This process begins with the initiation of the signal and ends when a response has been triggered. The process whereby a signal is released and/or conveyed from one location to another. The process whereby a signal causes activation of a receptor, for example, via a conformation change. The cellular process by which a physical entity or change in state, a signal, is created that originates in one cell and is used to transfer information to another cell. This process begins with the initial formation of the signal and ends with the mature form and placement of the signal. The signaling process whereby signal transduction is brought to an end rather than being reversibly modulated. null
