cAMP is the second messenger in the pathway.

cAMP or Cyclic AMP is a secondary messenger because it transmits signals from a receptor to a target cell. When the level increases rapidly, it starts following receptor-mediated activation of AC (adenylyl cyclase), and that catalyzes the conversion of  AMP (adenosine monophosphate) to cAMP.

The cAMP pathway is also known as the adenylyl cyclase pathway, which is a G protein-coupled receptor that is used in the cell signaling process. It works by activating protein kinase A. Therefore, cAMP is considered a secondary messenger which also regulates various cellular functions like cell growth, cell differentiation, etc.

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid
Ket [755]
Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm. 

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.
