Testerone is a steriod (lipid) hormone. Which of the following would be the most likely receptor for this hormone? Select one: a. A transmembrane receptor in the cell membrane since it cannot diffuse across the cell membrane b. An intracellular receptor because it can diffuse across the cell membrane

Insulin is a peptide (protein) hormone. As such, which of the following would be the most likely receptor for this signaling hormone? Select one: a. A transmembrane receptor in the cell membrane b. An intracellular receptor
How can you tell epinephrine is a peptide hormone and not a steroid one by looking at the picture?
Researchers have found that if either of these two cysteines in the opioid receptor are mutated to a different amino acid, the receptor can no longer bind the opioid ligand. What function do the cysteines serve in the structure of an opioid receptor? (think protein structure level)
One such laboratory study investigated the binding of a hormone to three different receptor proteins in the cell membrane. The data collected are shown in the table below 1) Provide a brief explanation as to why ligand binding toproteins must be a reversible process. 2) Calculate the dissociation constant (Kd) for the hormone binding to each of the three proteins.
Recently, a Gα q-coupled receptor was discovered that mediates at least some of the many activities of estrogen. At the time, this discovery generated considerable controversy, as it ran counter to what was then the understanding of how steroid hormone signaling worked. Which of the following observations might have led the investigators to suspect the existence of this newly discovered receptor? A. Activities of estrogen apparent less than 1 minute after application of the hormone B. The growth promoting activity of estrogen C. The presence of estrogen nuclear receptors in cells not previously known to respond to the hormone D. Estrogen is found in much higher concentrations in adult women than adult men E. Uptake of estrogen by target cells

In early studies of adrenergic signaling, it was thought that the epinephrine receptor and adenylate cyclase were one and the same protein. What kind of evidence would prove otherwise?
Human growth hormone binds to a cell-surface membrane protein that is not a receptor tyrosine kinase. The intracellular domain of the receptor can bind other proteins inside the cell. Furthermore, studies indicate that the receptor is monomeric in the absence of hormone but dimerizes on hormone binding. Propose a possible mechanism for growth-hormone signaling.
All of the following statements relating to endocrine signaling are correct EXCEPT:
Please identify the incorrect statement about hormone signaling: A) Cystolic receptors bind to hydophobic hormones and transport them into the nucleus where they directly influence protein synthesis. B) Hydropholic hormones cannot pass through the plasma membrane without help. Therefore, there are transport proteins that carry the hydrophillic hormones to the cytosol where it can bind its receptor C) Hydrophilic hormone signalling involves membrane receptors that have the ability to activate adenylyl cyclase, producing cAMP. cAMP then affects the activity of numerous proteins in the cytoplam. D) Hydrophobic hormones easily enter the plasma membrane. Therefore, there is no need for hydrophinic hormone receptors to be on the extracellular surface.
Identify which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.Diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3) are byproducts of enzymatic cleaving of PIP2 using phospholipase C while PIP2 formed via enzymatic activity of kinases. b.cAMP is an important second messenger because it serves to activate or inactivate proteins within the cells, especially those cells which their metabolic pathways are regulated by cAMP-dependent kinase (A-kinase). c.Second messengers are molecules that act alternative to signaling molecules to bind to the receptors by altering the structure of cellular proteins.
