Signal transduction in biology refers to the process in which cells convert one type of signal or stimulus into other biological signals and finally activate cell responses. Like the metabolic pathway, the signal transduction pathway is obtained by a series of physiological and chemical reactions of multiple biological molecules under the action of enzymes in a certain order. The signal transduction network refers to the network of molecules and enzymes involved in the signal transduction pathway and the biochemical reactions occurring therein. [1]
Metabolic networks and signal transduction networks are important tools for studying and analyzing metabolic processes and signal transduction processes. With the gradual completion of gene sequencing of many species and the development of new biological detection technologies, the knowledge of biochemical reactions in biological cells is increasing at an extremely fast speed, This makes it possible to form a complete biological metabolic network and signal transmission network for human and other species. At present, metabolic and signal transduction pathway information has been collected and sorted into some important pathway databases, which are the basis for constructing generation networks and signal transduction networks.
