Contents: Hormones and growth factors regulate cell metabolism, growth, differentiation and mitogenesis by interacting with plasma membrane located receptors. Upon ligand binding receptors are rapidly internalised into a series of complex membranes system collectively called endocytic compartment. Detailed studies on a number of receptor tyrosine kinases suggest that internalisation, rather than simply serving as a mechanism for uptake, may also allow for selected and regulated signal transduction from intracellular compartments. Although signal transduction is often credited with being a cascade of interactions initiated at the plasma membrane but exerting its final effects in the nucleus, now it has become clear that certain signal-transduction pathways affect membrane trafficking.
