Pronunciation: [fˈɒsfɔːlˌe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Phosphorelay is a term used in biochemistry to describe a signal transduction pathway that involves the transfer of phosphate groups. There are several synonyms for the term phosphorelay which could be used depending on the context. These include phosphotransferase system, two-component system, and histidine kinase pathway. The phosphotransferase system is a type of phosphorelay found in bacteria that mediates the transport of sugars into the cell. The two-component system is a widespread signaling pathway used in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to respond to changes in the environment. The histidine kinase pathway is another important phosphorelay mechanism found in organisms such as plants, fungi, and bacteria.
