Autocrine signalling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (84 words)
Autocrine signalling is a form of signalling in which a cell secretes a chemical messenger (called the autocrine agent) that signals the same cell.
An example of an autocrine agent is the cytokine interleukin-1 in monocytes.
When this is produced in response to external stimuli, it can bind to cell-surface receptors on the same cell that produced it.
Paracrine signalling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (137 words)
Paracrine signalling is a form of signalling in which the target cell is close to the signal releasing cell, and the signal chemical is broken down too quickly to be carried to other parts of the body.
The signal chemical is called the paracrine agent.
Other examples of paracrine agents are somatostatin and histamine.
