What: "Second messenger is created inside the cell from receptor protein. When it triggers (activate), the second messenger is like a signal molecule in the cytoplasm. The second messenger can function the cell in different ways by activating enzymes, activating a series of biochemical reactions in the cell and change the permeability of the cell by opening the ion channels."
