Second messenger

Explanation:

When a hormone binds on its cell receptor on the cell, it initiates a cascade of membrane protein changes that begin a secondary signaling process inside of the cell. The cAMP is a secondary messenger that is involved in intracellular signaling. In this case, it causes the cell to produce more PTH in response to low calcium levels.
