Through endocrine signaling‚ the signaling molecule or hormone is produced by a gland and discharged into the blood where it travels until it reaches certain blood cells distant from its place of origin on which it exerts its action. This is a long distance communication process. The signaling molecule is mainly of protein origin‚ although there is also a varied range of steroidal hormones.
