What is Protein Transduction and its Role in Cellular Communication?

[hivesaeed4]

What's protein transduction?

Is it a process by which proteins manufactured in one cell can be transferred into another cell or is it just another way of saying transduction proteins which are used in signal transduction (propagation/relaying)?

Protein transduction is the cellular internatlisation of proteins from the environment. Some proteins have the ability to penetrate cell membranes, there is a lot of interest for using this for gene therapy by combining said proteins with DNA.

[hivesaeed4]

You mean cellular internalisation, right?

You mean cellular internalisation, right?

Albeit with a typo that's what I said yes.

Protein transduction refers to the process of transferring proteins from one cell to another. This can occur naturally through mechanisms such as cell-to-cell communication or can be artificially induced through techniques such as protein delivery. In the context of signal transduction, protein transduction refers to the use of specialized proteins, called transduction proteins, to relay signals from one cell to another. These proteins play a crucial role in cellular communication and can regulate various physiological processes. Overall, protein transduction is an important process in both cellular communication and scientific research.
