Autocrine signaling

Autocrine signaling is a form of cell signaling in which a cell secretes a hormone or chemical messenger (called the autocrine agent) that binds to autocrine receptors on that same cell, leading to changes in the cell.^[1] This can be contrasted with paracrine signaling, intracrine signaling, or classical endocrine signaling.
