Biological signaling that involves the use of a lipid messenger to bind a protein target in order to certain cellular responses is termed as cellular signaling by lipid metabolites or lipid signaling. Yes, lipid signaling is unique when compared to other signaling metabolites because lipids diffuse freely through membranes.
