24
Q
Proteins and polypeptides
A
Majority of hormones Water soluble Can not travel in cell Receptor on cell 2nd messenger
25
Steroids
Lipids
Receptors inside cell
Primary messenger
Affects transcription/translation
26
Adrenal cortex and Gonads produce what
Steroids
27
Tyrosine derivatives
From tyrosine (amino acid)
28
2nd Messengers
- Hormone
- Receptor
- G Protein (GDP to GTP)
- Adenylate cyclase (ATP to cAMP)
- cAMP actives Protein
29
Primary messenger
Steroids and thyroid hormones
(Lipid based)
- Hormone crosses membrane
- Receptor
- Transcription and Translation
30
Thyroid and steroid
Lipid based
| Primary Messenger
